    I have a 2 TNSR routers connected to a pair of MLAG connected switches. I also have my own IPV4 subnet that is being announcec by BGP via Interface 1 on the first TNSR device. I have no problems at all right now, all of the servers on my network can access the internet and be accessed via their public IP address.

    What I am struggling with now is segregating clients into VLANs. When I create an access VLAN (22) for my client, I can no longer access the internet. My understanding is that I must create a bridge so that the VLAN22 can access the LAN interface with the gateway IP assigned. Each VLAN client will have a public IP from the single /24 subnet.

    When I followed the instructions for TNSR VLAN, nothing seemed to be problematic, but when I created the bridge things went wonky. Not only do the VLANs not work, but I also lose access to the non-VLAN devices.

    interface bridge domain 10
    flood
    uu-flood
    forward
    learn
    exit

    int Interface1
    bridge domain 10
    enable
    exit
    int Interface1.22
    bridge domain 10
    enable
    exit
    interface loopback bridgeloop
    instance 1
    exit
    interface loop1
    ip address 10.25.254.1/24
    bridge domain 10 bvi
    enable
    exit

    I did try changing the loop1 IP to my gateway IP and removing it from Interface1 but that didn't help. Maybe I am going about this wrong, but I need some guidance if possible.

    Thanks,
    Shawn

    For background:
    On TNSR device1:
    Interface1 is connected to a switch that carries my upstream BGP using a 10.34.14.0/24 address for now.
    Interface2 is the interface that has my gateway IP 23.x.x.x/24 and is also the port connected to the first switch.
    Interface3 is connected to a second switch and has no IP address

    TNSR device2 :
    Interface1 is connected to the switch that carreies the BGP but has no IP address and for all practical purposes is doing nothing

    Interface 2 is connected to the 2nd switch and has no IP address

    Interface 3 is connected to the first switch and has no IP address

    As you can see, the 2nd TNSR device is mostly sitting around doing nothing but eventually should be integrated in via VRRP or whatever I can get working.

    It looks to me like dnsmasq has no awareness of setting outside of itself so it just blindly uses IPv6 regardless of other pfSense setting disabling IPv6.

    Thanks again for all you help. I have been living with this problem for years now so I'm glad to have it resolved! :o)

    @hescominsoon I don't think so and there is no real need for it on a firewall. Run it on your server(s), if you think, it is worth it.

    @ramup Nach den Beschreibungstexten wird das so nicht ganz möglich sein, denke ich zumindest. Du müsstest also erst mal DNS Server Override aktivieren. Dann zusätzlich den DNS Forwarder aktivieren und nur auf dem "Subnetz 2" lauschen lassen oder, wenn das nicht geht, auf einem anderen Port laufen lassen und dann mittels Port Forward alle Anfragen aus dem "Subnetz 2" auf ihn lenken. Der Resolver kann so weiterhin resolven, da Du das ja wünscht. Was nun genau passiert, wenn unter Nr. 2 der Resolver auf einmal nicht mehr resolven kann, ist mir nicht bekannt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist aber vermutlich eher gering.

    Thanks for the detailed writeup on this procedure. I have a 1100 that just failed and I am grateful I found this thread.

    So here in May now, you've had yours running on the Samsung FIT drive for several months. If you were doing this again today would you use the same USB drive? Any other suggestions or recommendations after you've had yours running this way for a few months?

    Thanks.

    It looks like unified web management could be coming soon. It would be great if it means easier control and management of all web services in one place. Let's see if any companies announce more details about it!

    Even runs on Windows Millenium!
    STG - SNMP Traffic Grapher, an all-in-one executable of MRTG.
    Enable SNMP on your pfSense device, scan it with something like the Paessler SNMP Tester to find the OIDs and have at it!
