      Any Ubiquiti EdgeRouter ER-X experts out there? I'm Looking for a little help setting up a VLAN on a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X (ER-X) with my pfsense box.

      I know this shouldn’t be that hard but I seem to be having a real problem setting up the VLAN on the ER-X side of things. The ports of the ER-X are as follows:

      • eth 0 the LAN connection from pfsense box (192.168.30.1)
      • eth1 to be my existing house LAN port, 192.168.30.xxx. Can
        this be a default VLAN1 or does it have to be setup as a specific VLAN, i.e. VLAN 10?
      • eth3 port as a VLAN 32, 192.168.32.xxx, for my IOT stuff.

      From video (https://youtu.be/b2w1Ywt081o) I’ve got the interface assignments, DHCP servers, and rules setup in pfsense.

      I can’t seem to get the setting correct in the EdgeRouter X EdgeMAX GUI. Can anyone give me some direction on specific settings for the switch0 > Actions > Vlan tab? Specifically the VLAN Aware option and switch ports pvid and vid settings.

      Since I’ve got a VLAN32 setup in pfsense and the associated DHCP server, do I also need to setup a 192.168.32.0/24 DHCP server in ER-X?

      I do have the ER-X switch setup to use DHCP and it’s getting an IP address (192.168.30.169/24) from pfsense. When I do add a VLAN32 to the ER-X switch0 interface for the address do I select ‘Use DHCP’ or ‘Manually define IP address’ and enter 192.168.32.1/24 which is the VLAN DHCP server in pfsense?

        I am very much not that! But it looks like you're trying to use the same subnet on two ports of a router which would normally not work. They would have to be configured as a bridge or as switch ports.
