Hi Jill, 

I am using bridge pf:

I only allow pass all on my internal interface. So there is no other
rule for that interface. How do I know that states are mismatched for
both internal and external? 

Cheers, 

Mark

If you use tcpdump, the standard flags will also show what rule it
matched,
so if it is an 'pass all' rule, it mismatched your other rule.
