Transparent Firewall

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to build myself my very own firewall for my home server (using the free Sophos UTM version) and I want it to be a transparent network bridge, so that I can put it between the server on and the rest of the network. However, before I buy any dedicated hardware, I was wondering how many NICs (2 or 3?) I actually need to do this. Is it still possible to get an IP address for the bridge itself that could be used to access the management console? Or do I need a third NIC for this?

 

Any help greatly appreciated!!!
