Can't create a bridge

I am attempting to set the UTM up in bridge mode, following these instructions:

Configuring Web Filtering and Application Control in bridged mode for a Sophos UTM

After completing the "Initial setup" with one of my 2 NICs as internal, the other one as WAN and then deleting the WAN interface as instructed, I am stuck. There is only one NIC listed (the one I just freed by deleting the WAN interface) so creating a bridge cannot be done.

Makes sense because the other NIC is used by the internal interface.

Do I need 3 NICs in order to do this?

What do you know. ESXi had the NICs set to disable promiscuous mode. Changing that setting to "accept" fixed the problem.

I knew it would be some stupid little detail like that. THANK YOU[[:)]][[:)]]
