Problem solved by adding static routes to VLANs that weren't in the same network as FreeNAS. I assume it had something to do with asymmetric routing and with FreeNAS not setting gateways on VLAN.
Currently dealing with a similar scenario myself-- where transferring large files inter-VLAN between FreeNAS and a client crashes the network.
Can you explain the process of "adding static routes to VLANs that weren't in the same network as FreeNAS"? Thanks!
Well, it’s been a while since the initial post and right now even I don’t understand what I was trying to do. Looks needlessly complicated.
AFAIR, it has something to do with FreeNAS on multiple VLANs and asymmetric routing. Example:
PC on 192.168.1.5
FreeNAS on 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.100.100
PC tries to access FreeNAS on 192.168.100.100. Works initially but after a while FreeNAS will try to respond via 192.168.1.100, as in, from the same VLAN as the PC.
Or another issue when FReenas tries to answer back from 100.100 but doesn’t have a gateway set on that interface. The solution was to add a gateway on 192.168.100.0/24 but that wasn’t an option (in the freenas gui). So I had to set a static route from Freenas something like, 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.100.1 (router interface on that VLAN that can talk between VLANs).
Tbh I can’t remember details and since then, I’ve moved on from freenas and pfsense
