Hello,
I'm trying to make OPT1 and OPT2 part of the LAN so it acts like a simple switch for additional devices.
Is there a step by step guide that does this for Opnsense?
I followed this guide for pfsense but it didn't work.

https://mtu.net/~engstrom/configure-pfsense-bridge-over-multiple-nics-as-lan/

Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advanced.

There is a doc for this waiting to be merged into the wiki, in the meantime I've loaded it to my webserver, it doesn't display as nicely as the wiki but it will get you there.

Do I need to do anything on the firewall side?
