Vnet allows you to control networks by the system and make various
configurations networks jails etc, example here:

PCI passthrough would skip all kernel networking and give your vm
access to the physical cable attached to a NIC. Note that passthrough
needs entry in /boot/loader.conf and disables that device for use in
system. I have a dedicated USB 3.0 controller working that way.

A very simple and elegant shell management tool to play with bhyve is vm-bhyve:

Have fun :-)
