Unusual bridging in menu - security breach?

So, I run my TrueNas lab open through my firewall for just SSH (I'm a network guy, as securely as I can get, including a rando high port # and use pub/private keys to access (root access turned off) remotely). I noticed this today and I don't think I have ever seen it before.

Upon boot, the NAS loads the usual text based menu on the screen, I usually see if I set up a key wrong at this menu. Today I noticed that it was the usual 1 = 11 choices but it was followed by this: Bridge0: Ethernet address: (first mac #) epair0a: Ethernet address: (2nd mac #) epair0b: Ethernet address: (3rd Mac #)

Any thoughts what this might be? Why did it start showing up now?

Generally jails generate these epair devices and it could squawk in the terminal. Do you have jails running? Doubtful to be an intrusion.
