      @snoopyski so now from a device on your lan can you ping the pfsense IPs that you set on vlan9 and vlan5 interface?

      What are the IPs you have set on vlan 9 and vlan 5 interface, and what are their masks - pfsense should not allow you to create overlapping IPs..

      What are these IPs.. example
      lan 192.168.1.1
      vlan9 192.168.9.1
      vlan5 192.168.5.1

      All with /24 makes would be an example setup.. What that last octet is doesn't really matter but lets be clear on what they are.

      So from a device on lan, you can ping 192.168.1.1, can you ping 192.168.9.1 and 192.168.5.1? Using whatever actual IPs you have set on these interfaces

        @johnpoz Only VLAN5 works not VLAN9 very strange.

        So I can only ping IP set on VLAN5 and of curse my LAN IP

          So from my edited example... Your saying you can ping from some 192.168.1.x device you can ping 192.168.1.1, 192.168.5.1 but not 192.168.9.1

          And what exactly is the mask on this device in your lan? lets for example see the output of ipconfig on this device in your lan. And lets see the interface you setup on vlan 5 on pfsense.

          example here is my lan device

          mylan.jpg

          What specific interface do you have these setup on? This is on a switch port I take it on your 7100 - lets see that config.

            @johnpoz In your example :

            From my LAN ping :

            192.168.1.1 = OK, Hosts = OK
            192.168.9.1 = OK, Hosts = Failed (no access to anything on this VLAN)
            192.168.5.1 = OK, Hosts = OK

              @snoopyski All of this works before I changed the old Sonicwall for a Netgate 7100-U1

                  @snoopyski said in VLAN cannot ping is gateway!:

                  192.168.9.1 = OK, Hosts = Failed (no access to anything on this VLAN)

                  So you can ping pfsense IP on vlan 9 from lan.. But you can not ping hosts on this vlan.

                  So sniff on vlan 9 interface.. Get a running ping going from your lan to 192.168.9.x do you see the ping go out??

                  This is 10 second test...

                  Can pfsense ping this 192.168.9.x IP from the ping in the gui?

                  edit:
                  why do you have all your interfaces assigned to lagg0 ? This is the uplink of the soc.. You should not have interfaces assigned to that..

                      @snoopyski see my edit... Why do you have interfaces assigned to your lagg which only contains the uplink to the soc..

                      That sure doesn't seem right to me.. Calling @stephenw10

                        But your saying devices from lan can ping 9.1?

                        But pfsense both from cmd line and from gui can not ping its own IP address?

                          No devices on LAN cannot ping hosts on 9.1

                          But pfsense both from cmd line and from gui can not ping its own IP address?

                          From the cmd (shell) I can ping its own IP 192.168.9.1 but not from GUI if the source is LAN, if the source is WAN I can ping 192.168.9.1

                            It's the Netgate default setup out of the box! What's wrong?

                              That makes no sense at all.. Other than a mask issue..

                              Can you post your routing table please.

                                  Hello everyone,

                                  I have 2 VLAN :

                                  VLAN9 and VLAN5

                                  Same settings, VLAN9 in the Netgate "Diagnostics ping" section cannot ping itself the VLAN9 gateway from VLAN9 source BUT works fine for the VLAN5 for itself

                                  So the result is :

                                  LAN cannot reach VLAN9 devices and VLAN9 cannot reach LAN devices

                                  PS : Of course, my rules ares open for my test

                                  Any Idea ? The device is Netgate 7100U

                                  Best regards

                                  In that VLAN, did you create something in the "System/Routing/Gateways" menu?
                                  When I was starting with Pfsense, I went through a similar error, but my mistake was that I didn't need to create a gateway for each vlan, because the IP you define in it will be your gateway.
                                  If you created it, just go and disable the Gateway from the vlan and everything will work.
