  If you tell pfSense to tag on VLAN 5, and the switch port connected to that has tagged VLAN 5, then your workstation needs to be connected to an untagged VLAN 5 port on the switch to have layer 2 connectivity to pfSense. That's the whole point.

  OK then the MAC address should be spoofed. The MAC address on the LAGG should also be the spoofed MAC. That is exactly what would be expected.

  A windows host out of the box is not going to answer icmp from a network other than its local network.. So yeah if you wan to be able to access a windows machine from another vlan you would have to adjust its firewall to allow for the access.

  @derelict Thank you for pointing us in the right direction. Eventually found in the switch a different ARP the in the pfsense. Eventually followed those issue around in the network and solved the issue. Thank you for the advice.

  Two things that I forgot to mention are that I already have OpenVPN set up successfully for my normal network and that since I'm new to the pfSense concept, I've never worked with VLANs on it before. I do, however, understand the VLAN broad concept since I've taken a Principles of Networking class as a computer systems administration student at my university.

  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I am brand new to pfsense. I wasn't expecting the SG-3100 to have it's built in little switch. I am finding conflicting information regarding the SG-3100 being able to support LACP on a LAGG. This post indicates the SG-3100 seems to not support LACP https://forum.netgate.com/topic/131207/lagg-on-switched-ports-on-sg-3100 and this Netgate article has LACP described for the SG-3100 has LACP listed as a protocol for the SG-3100. I am still have difficulty created a 2 port LAG to a Cisco switch using LACP and trunking multiple VLANs over it. Has anyone here been successful at this? Thank you.

  @derelict said in WAN starts cycling link after Ethernet link loss: It runs another ifconfig to explicitly set autoselect. When it does it bounces the link. That is probably freaking out what it is connecting do and it is bouncing the link too, initiating a negotiation loop. I wouldn't call it a bug in pfSense. It could be a bug in the modem. :) I would call it an incompatibility caused by someone that shouldn't be tweaking settings and checking boxes unnecessarily since default (usually autoselect) is the default for a reason. Nice explanation. Not sure of the need to slam those of us that have run into that problem though. After all, the GUI text specifically says: "WARNING: MUST be set to autoselect (automatically negotiate speed) unless the port this interface connects to has its speed and duplex forced." A bit of a stretch to blame us for heeding the bold warning.

  @johnsed said in VLAN over openvpn: so I have 11 vpns on each router Certainly not how I would do it. I'd have a central site feeding all of those. I would have redundancy at the central site so no one failure took everything down. That site would route between the "spokes." Everything necessary to all of the "spokes" would be accessible via the central site. They way you have done it is take the number of sites you have and the number of problems that might ring your phone is sites^2 instead of sites/2.

  Did you put a gateway on your vlan 5 rules? This is common mistake where users set a gateway on the rule, this forces traffic out that gateway vs allowing pfsense to use it routing table. Post up your rule(s) you put on vlan 5 interface Blocking rfc1918 on the interface have seen as well.

  @sccmadmin said in Camera VLAN Configuration: The DVR will need to have access to both VLANs to access the cameras and to be accessed from user computers to login to web interface to view the camera feed/recordings. How can I accomplish this? That is called routing.. And yes that is how any device in vlan X gets access to devices not on vlan X.. Be they are vlan (tagged) or just different physical networks. That is what pfsense does out of the box. You can set the rules to be any any on both networks/vlans or you can restrict traffic to the specific ports needed. I would NOT recommend dual homing your DVR.. Unless your going to isolate all your camera's behind the DVR itself on different vlan that doesn't even have to touch pfsense. And then another nic on the DVR will give the DVR access to the rest of your network, etc.

  What needs to be done is all the vlans that you want on the downstream switch need to be tagged and allowed on the port that connects the switches on both switches.. Cisco calls that a trunk port yes. edit: BTW moving this to the L2 section.

  @johnpoz said in Setting up a Vlan for security,: You should never be suggesting to someone that they can get by with using a dumb switch if they want to start using vlans. What about my original intention for using a VLAN. I have an access point that supports multiple SSIDs and I was planning on setting up a guest SSID & VLAN. It was the only device on my network, other than pfSense, that would use a VLAN. Was I supposed to toss a perfectly good Cisco unmanaged switch, just because I was running a VLAN to one device? However, I definitely recommend VLANs for security cameras, VoIP phones, etc.. In some cases, it makes sense to use a managed switch to keep LAN and VLAN separate. In others, maybe not. An example would be a network where most devices are VoIP phones, with computers plugged into the phones. (I've seen networks where there's nothing else other than VoIP phones & computers and the Internet connection) In that situation, what advantage would a managed switch provide? Due to the way switches filter traffic, there would be very few VLAN frame appearing at devices not configured for a VLAN. As always, look at the requirements and be guided accordingly. That said, there's not much reason to not buy a managed switch these days. BTW, my plan failed because our favorite manufacturer, TP-Link, didn't know how to handle VLANs properly. Me and jknott bang heads about this all the time. And you have horns on yours!

  @derelict Hmmm...I'm not sure there is a way to assign a virtual NIC for a Hyper-V VM to an untagged VLAN. I had added a VLAN during pfSense initial config, to match the virtual NIC and physical switch port configs. The general ease of virtualization lured me into forgetting the requirement for VLAN support at the NIC hardware/driver level. Broadcom docs indicate Netlink 57XX series don't have VLAN support. My onboard NIC is a Broadcom Netlink BCM57780. I ended up adding a multi-port PCI-E NIC (removed the bracket so it would fit my low profile Optiplex 380), connecting a second port between Hyper-V host and switch (untagged/PVID VLAN 100) for VLAN, and reconfigured switch, virtual NIC and pfSense interfaces accordingly. Success. Though for me it defeats the purpose of a VLAN in the first place. The switch, modem and Hyper-V host (pfSense) are all in close proximity, so I can simply connect the modem to the second port on the Hyper-V host. But I never used a modem connected to a switch port instead of directly to my router, and was curious whether it would work as expected. Your response got me thinking in the right direction. Thank you!

  Then start following the manual: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/routing/connectivity-troubleshooting.html and if this isn't enough capture packets on both sides to see where it fails. Btw. if you really want to use VLANs get managed switches, unmanaged switches can strip/mess up VLAN tags.

  There is a second VLAN id field hidden under the adavnced option for each Wifi network profile. Correcting that allowed me to ping across the waps to the firewall but still no internet. I need to reserach more about the Netgear WAPs tagged/untagged network option and then will retry next year. Thanks for the suggestions.

  If your wanting to do vlans your going to need a vlan capable switch and a vlan capable AP... Or your going to need to run completely different hardware for each network.. Anything else is just completely BORKED!!! You can pick up a 24 port vlan capable switch off ebay for a like 30$.. Do you really need 24 ports? You an get a 5 or 8 port smart switch to handle the vlans and then use your 24 port switch for all the devices that are going to be on 1 vlan..

  @dranick said in Strange behavior on LAN: unmanaged was requested Why would you ever request that?? And pretty much any managed switch I have ever seen comes out of the box dumb.. With everything in vlan 1... Only thing that might be a problem is the default IP of the switch - but most of then not they will auto grab an IP off dhcp if running, etc.. You should never request a unmanaged switch...

  It is probably just that the lagg isn't set up yet. If the errors do not increase after it's all booted and established I would not sweat it.
