Firewall question with bridged ethernet ports

Hello.

 

I might already know the answer to this question, but wanted to verify as I have no way of testing it yet, and are on a very tight timeline when I can get to config it.

 

I am changing an EdgeRouter Lite with 3 ETH ports, where ETH1 was WAN, ETH0 was LAN and ETH2 was DMZ. This is now being changed with an EdgeRouter POE with 5 ports where I set ETH0 as WAN and ETH1-ETH4 bridged as BR0. We do not need the DMZ anymore, and I want to connect 2 Unifi AP-LR (24V) and a CloudKey (48V) directly to the POE ports, so I need to do the bridging.

 

So here is my question. I had a rule preventing certain clients to connect to the internet at certain times, and I had a rule saying ETH0/IN (as ETH0 was lan previous). When I want to now change the LAN-ports to bridge-mode, do I now use BR0 as the interface when blocking outgoing traffic? If so, is anything else different or do I just substitute ETH0 with BR0 and it will all work?

 

Sorry for the lenghty-short question, hope to get a quick reponse so I will have minimum issues when changing.
