i have a working bridge now , with the help of discussion in this thread:
https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/network-bridge-not-working-on-22-02-rc-2.98401/
steps are:
1, i didn't reset all config in CLI, but i disables dhcp on all physical interfaces, delete all bridges , and remove default gateway and dns server.
2, reboot.
3, create a bridge with all my physical interfaces , assign a ip to it . commit and checkin.
4, now the truenas server can reach the gateway by the bridge , and when i add default gateway and dns , it can also reach internet .
some notices :
1, after i clear all network config and reboot , i saw some errors thrown by k3s , said it cannot start without default gateway. i don't know whether it's related to the bridge issue , but k3s and dhcp are the main differences between the bridge can work or not.
2, after step 4 , when network is working well , i reboot the system again to see if it will work well . then i saw the bridge having 2 ips , one is assigned , the other is dhcp , with all ipv4_dhcp in "false" status. it's weird.

we cannot reproduce the issue otherwise we would have not closed the bug report.
Many people are able to have this working so it must be some edge case which we will need more details.
It could be your network environment, there is absolutely nothing in TrueNAS that will prevent you from accessing it after setting up bridge. You must do that within the configured timeout (60 seconds) and acknowledge the change before the network settings are automatically rolled back.

Hello ,
Thanks for your update.
It's easy to reproduce this issue, just follow the doc exactly https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/virtualization/accessingnasfromvm/
when i assign a ip to a physical interface(eno1), i can access the web ui ; when i create a bridge with eno1 as it's member and assign a ip to the bridge , i cannot access web ui from the bridge ip.
just try it.
Of course i had searched and discussed this issue in the forums , until i was suggested by to open a ticket here.

Hello,
This seems to be a issue configuring the bridge on your network and not a TrueNAS issue.
We suggest you seek for help in our forums.
If you have a clearly defined bug please let us know precise steps to reproduce the issue.
Thank you

i have installed truenas scale 22.02 rc2 on my nas, and i cannot get bridge working fine after many efforts.
here is what i have done:
1, using web ui.
A physical interface ( let's say eno1 )with static ip or dhcp will work well . Then i create a bridge with eno1 as it's member , following this doc ,just the bridge part: https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/virtualization/accessingnasfromvm/
save changes and test , then i cannot access web ui anymore , either from static ip or dhcp ip.
After 60 seconds , config falls back , fortunately.
2, using CLI.
i conneted my nas to a tv , and access it from native CLI with "network interface" tools.
create name=br0 type=BRIDGE bridge_members=eno1 aliases="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24"
commit and checkin.
"query" to show br0 has ip and eno1 doesn't.
now i try to access web ui with this ip , it doesn't work.
i think it's easy to re-produce this situation . any suggestions ? is there something i did wrong , or it's a bug in current version of SCALE?
