      Hi badly needed help,

      I have created VLAN AND DHCP server and Rules each VLAN in pFSense. I also created a VLAN Group in CISCO SF300 switch.

      I have two ISP. ISP1 and ISP2
      I connect the TP-link router to Cisco port 1 which in pfSense is we set the default to ISP1 and Laptop to port 8 which we set to ISP2.

      Now both Port 1 and 8 in CISCO switch is getting the ISP1.
      The default gateway is the ISP1 pfsense.png

      I want to set-up also a VLAN IP address in CISCO switch so maybe it will get the correct connection.

        @jomarworkrelated where is the 2nd ISP connection?

        Could you draw up how you have everything connected, and what you have setup in your switch.

        If pfsense only has 1 interface and you want to use 2 different isp connections on it, 1 could be untagged and other would have to be tagged. Or both would have to be tagged.

        You would setup a vlan on your switch say X for isp1, and Y for isp2.. And then you would trunk those on another port to your pfsense wan interface.

        You would setup the 2 isp on pfsense.. Then you could route whatever you want to to either isp, or load share, etc. for anything behind pfsense.
