"That's a work round of sorts. However, the package should forbid you from selecting a vlan. If you do so, ladvd keeps on churning out errors to the system log."
But how is not just selecting the interface you have assigned to the physical not a solution to the OP problem? I have lavd on my em1 and em2, which I do have L3 assigned too.. But you wouldn't have to if all you want to do is use vlans on that physical interface.
That being said cdp and lldp would go out on the physical and works on whatever vlan you have as the native, be 1 or 10 or 200, etc.. To me this is untagged traffic and just the physical wire at layer 2. Only reason you set it at the switch is too isolate that to its own broadcast domain.. So switch ports that are not part of that native vlan do not see this traffic.
If lavd does not work and generates errors when you pick a vlan interface, then sure guess that should be removed.. And you should only be able to pick the actual physical be it em0, 1, etc.. or the interface you assigned to that physical be it lan, opt1, opt2 (or whatever you change the label too).
I can how it should be updated in the package - I would think a note to the package maintainer could get that fixed up.. But still not seeing how this is any sort of real issue in the big picture.
"working LLDP on pfSense would be nice to have, but is hardly critical in my deployment."
It does work…
edit: hmm that is odd why is showing same mac for the ID.. em1 and em2 ... hmmm hose should be 02 and 03 for the last number in the mac.. Oh that is the device ID.. hmm would be better if that was the actual mac of the interface - which I thought it should be..
ah it shows it
