PfSense and a VLAN for my Wireless AP (Netgear)
-
I am using the Netgate 2100 at 22.05 release. I have my Netgear Wireless RAX70 in AP mode plugged directly into Port #4 (LAN4). I have tried everything I have seen on YouTube but cannot seem to isolate all of my wireless clients off into a separate VLAN. When I think I have everything in place the Netgear no longer gets an IP address and all of the wireless clients obviously can no longer get to the Internet. It seems like this would be a fairly easy thing to do. Do they need to be tagged or no tagging, I am unclear about that piece.

@kabluton you need to slice off one of the ports on the 2100 switch to use, this would be an untagged vlan.
This goes over what you want
"This completes the configuration of a discrete port on the Netgate SG-2100."
You then plug your AP into this port, and setup a network on pfsense on this port, it would not be a vlan to pfsense.. Just an interface with a network on it.

@johnpoz Thanks. I finally got it working following those instructions. One thing to note that was tripping me up at the very end was that I was still not able to route to Internet and back to my new VLAN until I had the NAT rules autogenerate. After that everything just worked.

@kabluton said in PfSense and a VLAN for my Wireless AP (Netgear):
NAT rules autogenerate.
Why would you not have had your outbound nats in auto anyway?

@johnpoz I don't remember when I initially set it up if that was the default. I am assuming it is because until I added the VLAN everything just worked.
