Next re-assign the LAN to the bridge interface, you'll appear to lose the connection, at this point you need to connect your physical LAN cable to one of the two NICs assigned to the bridge, wait about 30 seconds, refresh your browser and you should be back in business, now add the third NIC to your bridge and you are done.
Thanks for this insight MARJOHN56, I am also setting up opnsense as router switch but have stumbled to get my LAN on more than one NIC. I understand all of it except 're-assign the LAN to the bridge interface'? Is this changing the name on LAN to something else (LAN1) AND bridge0 to LAN in the interfaces. Also when to remove the fixed IP address off the old LAN, before or after moving computer to the bridge NIC.
I have had great difficulty in the opnsense gui seeing just how LAN was linked to WAN so I Could visualise what is connected to what and change it.
Sorry if this posts twice...having serious internet latency problems...need this router workig to see why and prove it is the telco not my lan.
