Then some time later, realizing that I want to run a bhyve there as well,I need to add a bridge. But for situation where the host is remote and even without console access, it means to either keep the invalid config if IP address on interface, or blindly do the sensitive config update without a way to test it before reboot.
for ZFS based systems: - create new BE - mount new BE - edit rc.conf - unmount new BE - bectl activate -t new_BE - reboot- it it doesn't work, do a remote reboot (if you don't have that, add a rc.local with a "(sleep <suitable_time>; shutdown -r now)&")
That's how I did it some years ago after noticing that the IP shall be on the bridge.
