Need help with broadcast bonded LAN setup

I want to use multiple NICs on my Proxmox machine as a switch with routing across the multiple LAN NICs and to the single WAN NIC. I have them set up as a broadcast bond (see details below), with enp2s0 through enp6s0 all bonded. I can see all the Proxmox VMs and the WAN from LAN devices, but I cannot see LAN devices on other interfaces that are part of the bond. Is broadcast bond not the way to do this?


Details below. Note the proxmox host is 192.168.0.11 and the OPNSense VM which is my LAN gateway and WAN/LAN bridge is 192.168.0.1.

> cat /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp1s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
    bridge-ports enp1s0
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

auto enp2s0
iface enp2s0 inet manual

auto enp3s0
iface enp3s0 inet manual

auto enp4s0
iface enp4s0 inet manual

auto enp5s0
iface enp5s0 inet manual

auto enp6s0
iface enp6s0 inet manual

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
    bond-slaves enp2s0 enp3s0 enp4s0 enp5s0 enp6s0
    bond-miimon 100
    bond-mode broadcast

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
    address 192.168.0.11/24
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    bridge-ports bond0
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0
