Not sure if my switch or pfsense

Howdy
We have a weird situation where we have a lot of land between switches. We have a very long fibre run from switch a to switch b.
What I'd like to do is subnet the remote location by making a vlan in switch b that takes the SFP from switch A and forwards it to one port that would then go into pfsense. so switch A sfp port 8 goes to swich b sfp port 8 then vlan segments that port and forwards it to one port that is connected to pfsense.
I have set it up this way and currently for some reason only UDP traffic is getting through and only from one machine.
Am I crazy to think this would work?
I have ordered a small switch to do this job in case I can't get this "smart" switch to do this.
[switch A SFP port 8] –----------------[switch B SFP port 8(vlan port 8 sfp and port 16 ethernet)port 16]–----[pfsense]

Pretty sure it's the switch.
I did a firmware update that completely broke it. Rolled back and I guess I'll play the waiting game instead of pulling every lever in the switch and pfsense to try to get it to work. LOL

The small sfp switch came in.
Works great!
