      Good nigth. I have a problem. I have an edgerouter as the main door then a pfsense in bridge mode, then a manageable swiche and later the different aps and their client all bridge mode being like this.

      Edgerouter>Pfsense>Swiche>Aps>Clients

      My problem is that I created a vlan in the router and swiche managing to access the ap, but it turns out that the aps do not connect to the internet, I have discovered that the problem lies in the pfsense. How do I configure if possible a vlan in the pfsense that is in bridge mode? I'm thinking you can't

        What is bridged on pfSense? WAN - LAN, the interfaces between the edgerouter and the switch?

        I created a vlan in the router and swiche

        On the edgerouter?

          MI pfsense has 4 ports. wan and lan are in bridge mode.

          I created a vlan in the router and swiche

          On the edgerouter?

          Yes

            Yes

            The VLAN packets are not passed by pfSense, even if it is bridged.

            You have to create the respective VLAN on pfSense WAN and LAN as well and bridge these VLAN interfaces instead.

            If there is no untagged network which should be passed over pfSense you can remove the basic WAN-LAN bridge instead, cause it's useless in this case.
