The handbook has always been clear about the only correct way to configure a bridge and member interfaces since the introduction of if_bridge(4) and the removal of the previous bridge(4) in 2007: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/doc/head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking/chapter.xml?revision=30565&view=markup If the bridge host needs an IP address then the correct place to set this is on the bridge interface itself rather than one of the member interfaces. This can be set statically or via DHCP. Kind regards, Patrick
