The bridge works fine for 'normal' purposes, but I am trying to use the Windows desktop running Wireshark to sniff packets being sent between the Xbox and the main gateway. vlan1 is the 4x LAN ethernet ports (Windows 10 desktop is only wired host).eth2 is the 5.0 Ghz wireless (client mode to main gateway router / other devices).eth1 is the 2.4 Ghz wireless (access point mode - Xbox is only wireless host).

Therefore, i think that this will not work, since pfSense's bridging acts as a switch and i don't see all LAN traffic.I have a Linksys E2500 router running Tomato v1.28 (Linux kernel 2.6.22.19, no USB drive capability) that is functioning in bridge mode to connect three interfaces: brctl showīridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces I see some traffic on the OPT1 interface, but only traffic to and from the laptop plus some broadcasts.

This way, the laptop receives DHCP IP on the OPT1 interface from the LAN DHCP server. Next option that i tried, was bridging the OPT1 interface with LAN, setting up 2 rules allowing traffic between LAN and OPT1 interfaces. Also a managed switch with port mirroring is out of reach (financially) However, i cannot find any dumb hub on the market these days (new or second hand). Logging with Wireshark would be easy when plugging in a dumb hub at the pfSense LAN interface. WAN –-> VDSL modem/router (in bridge mode) -> pfSense on WRAP (WAN interface) -> pfSense LAN interface -> multiple switches (single /24 subnet) So my next solution is running Wireshark on a laptop and let it trace continuously. I already know it would be possible with some packages, but since I run embedded, that's not an option. I basically want to know the amount of bandwith everyone uses. My ultimate goal is to log traffic in our network on a per IP basis. I'm using pfSense Embedded 1.2 release on WRAP.
