    For the record and for people facing the same question: I have solved this issue. I use the Netgate SG-3100 and the switch which is by default configured as the LAN added another layer of complexity which made things difficult. So, I changed the OPT1 and LAN assignments so now I have my LAN on a single port out of the device. On this LAN I created a VLAN and bridged this with the WAN. That way (filtered) bridging works out of the box, so now I have my filtered WAN on a VLAN distributed in my infrastructure. (PS. Yes, I am aware of potential security risks, but as you will find in this thread, I have considered and weighed these before proceeding.) Thomas

    Issue resolved, it was a VLAN setting issue within the GS752TP plus old traffic shaper rules blocking traffic. See here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-Click-Switches/LAGG-with-GS752TP-and-pfsense/m-p/1743593#M12367

    You can assign the lan to any interface you want in the assignment section. So could be a vlan even on a different physical nic. Lan is just what pfsense would place the antilock out rule if enabled ;) You can even delete it if you want.. They wouldn't allow you to delete... Just take care you don't lock yourself out based upon your rules on your other interfaces.

    You do not need to assign it but you cannot assign it and disable it. Just don't select it in Interfaces > Assignments. The parent interface for the VLANs should be an available network port there. Countless people run VLANs that way. If you are having a problem it is something peculiar to your environment that will need to be identified and corrected.

    Q
    @dennypage Denny posted in a Sonos thread that HEOS could work without resorting to PIM or IGMP proxies, i.e Check these things: You have firewall interfaces in both the client subnet (where your iPhone is) and the server subnet (where the HEOS device is). You have Avahi (2.0.0_2) with the allowed interfaces set to include both the client subnet and the server subnet. You have "Enable" and "Enable reflection" checked in the Avahi configuration. You do not have "Disable IPv4" checked in the Avahi configuration. You do not have anything defined in the "Advanced settings" section of the Avahi configuration. You have added rules to allow ptp packets from the clients to the HEOS device you are trying to control. You have restarted or disconnected/reconnected both HEOS clients and servers after changing the any of the above. I haven't had any luck so far and wanted to see if anyone else had success preferably without resorting to third party apps? I see my Denon Amp (HS2) but it only appears to be broadcasting Spotify as a connection point? [image: 1555646991097-inetscan-resized.jpg]

    @Herman said in Network Discovery not working on VLAN: Does this help? No, I'm not familiar with that software and it doesn't answer my question. How does it scan? You can fire up Wireshark or packet capture to see what's on the wire.

    The PVLANs are tagged, but as you said, the issue is multiple devices and trunking in play here. Using the HA pair, two switches and the 10Gbps trunk means I either need pfSense to understand PVLANs or the Cisco switch to do the work for it. I am opening a ticket with Cisco to see if this model can do what is needed. Thanks for the response.

    Yeah I have no idea what he is talking about either.. If your not going to use vlan capable switches, then yeah we talked about just different interfaces and native networks connected to their own switches, etc. If your going to force traffic out a gateway on the rules - then NO your not going to other local networks. Again DRAWING!!!! if you want anyone to understand what your wanting to do.

    @tman222 said in Jumbo Frames not working on L3in 10Gbit network: Hi @LaUs3r - have you tried running an iperf3 test across the firewall (i.e. between two VLAN's or subnets) to see how many packets per second it handle with PF enabled? That might be a good first step to see where the theoretical transfer limits are (and would leave out any impact storage might have on slowing down the transfer speed). Check out this link: https://bsdrp.net/documentation/technical_docs/performance#where_is_the_bottleneck You can use netstat to monitor number of packets being transferred while running an iperf3 test across the firewall (i.e. between two hosts in different VLAN's or subnets). Then reduce the MSS and see where you hit a bottleneck (i.e. the number of packets no longer increase as you increase the number of parallel iperf3 streams) Hope this helps. So, today I performed some iperf tests. my i3 cannot take more than 8Gbit/s which is fine for me. I now have transfer rates of approx. 800MB/s :-) Interestingly, on my other PC where WinPcap is installed, I only get around 550MB/s. So, thank you all for your valuable inputs and help! Cheers guys

    No idea why you would have two pfSense nodes for two WANs. That would require the hosts know how to route to either node based on where they are trying to do. A much more common way to handle it is to connect both WANs to different interfaces on the outside node, create a gateway group, and policy route to it for the inside host traffic. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/multiwan/index.html I perused this thread and cannot get a clear picture of what you are trying to do based on your descriptions. A proper network diagram would probably be in order since the design sounds rather unconventional.

    If i understood correctly is to create a host overide but host overide to put host mail and ip to return the WAN ip? Note quite. You want to configure a host override for mail.mydomain.com and point it at the internal IP of your mail server (i.e. 192.168.3.150). Right now, your clients are trying to connect to mail.mydomain.com, which is resolving to a public IP, then being routed accordingly out your WAN and relying on NAT reflection to redirect the traffic back thru the firewall. Once the host override is configured, when your clients initiate a connection to mail.mydomain.com, the DNS query will get resolved locally to 192.168.3.150 and then traffic will get sent to the mail server directly vs. being routed out the WAN interface. At this point, two things will now happen more efficiently: DNS queries for mail.mydomain.com will be resolved locally by PFsense instead of being forwarded to a server on the internet for resolution. When clients initiate connections to your mail server, the traffic will be sent directly to the mail server instead of relying on a "hack" that loops traffic through the firewall after it hits the WAN interface. then create an explict firewall rule? to allow all guest VLAN to access 192.168.3.150? Almost, but even more explicit. You don't want to allow all guest VLAN traffic access to 192.168.3.150... you only want to allow traffic sourced from the guest VLAN and destined to 192.168.3.150 using email ports.

    Finally got this solved! Previous admin never documented anything so I was just stumbling around. There's a layer 3 switch doing VLAN routing (originally it was just passing the routing off to the old router). So I reconfigured the layer 3 switch to handle the VLANs, pfSense just handles everything out to the internet. So we're all good!

    First off, thank you for you help. Been going nuts trying to figure all this out, but i think I finally got it working (all systems are getting IPs in the correct subnet for their VLAN from pfSense). Now to see if I have a basic understanding: Untagged: So by listing eth2 as untagged in VLAN 10 Untaggedd traffic going IN eth2 is added to VLAN 10 (this is because PVID on eth2 is set to 10) Traffic going OUT eth2 has tags stripped because eth2 is untagged (we are saying that the device connected to eth2 does not expect tags) Tagged: This is the one that confuses me. Basically when traffic enters on eth1, the switch checks for what VLANs eth1 is a "tagged" member of. If the traffic has a VLAN ID that matches a VLAN eth1 is tagged in, the traffic is allowed to pass. If the traffic has no tag or has a tag with a VLAN ID that doesn't match a VLAN eth1 is a tagged member of, then the traffic is dropped. Any traffic exiting eth1 keeps its pre-existing tag or is tagged with the PVID if no tag exists. So my device can send untagged traffic to eth2, have it tagged as VLAN 10, and then sent out eth1 to pfSense. In order to get any traffic back from pfSense tagged as VLAN 10, I must have eth1 as a "tagged" member of VLAN 10. This all sound correct?

    Verify there is an outbound NAT in place (and configured correctly) for traffic sourced from VLAN 60 on the VPN interface This was the problem. Thank you so much. I feel a little stupid right about now ;-)
