      Is it possible that a firewall rule block DHCP server ?

        @emilien no - when you enable dhcp server on an interface, hidden rules are created that allow for dhcp.

          I have NordVPN configured, can it be the problem ?

          Should I reset everything ?

            @emilien said in DHCP not giving the right IP on 2nd VLAN:

            I think yes :

            Try running a packet capture on that interface, filtering on DHCP, so you can see what's happening.

            PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
            i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
            UniFi AC-Lite access point

            I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                Empty the host address= all
                Protocol to UDP as DHCP is UDP only.

                If needed, set port to 67|68
                This means port 67 or port 68

                Btw : the device you've plugged into that port switch "7 or8", is it set to use the correct VLAN ID ?

                Or do you use a managed switch between these ports "7 or 8" and your device, that manages VLAN for you ?

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  @emilien Still nothing on packet capture

                  A windows PC and a Raspberry are plugged directly in the port switch eth7 ans eth8 on the Netgate7100, I didn't set anything on the devices... should I ?

                    @emilien well lets see the switch config you did to put these ports on whatever vlan you want them on.

                        @emilien well did you tag your dmz on your uplinks of the switch.. Doesn't look like it.

                        Also you setup a lagg, you wouldn't set that up unless you were going to use both ports into another switch. Not if you going to put individual devices on them.

                        And port 7 doesn't even show anything connected.

                        edit:
                        Oh, ok you have them on lagg0, but you don't have them tagged on the uplink ports 9 and 10

                        see in the example on the link where 4 ports were broken out into office lan. And its tagged on 9 and 10. Yours would be the same but only the 2 ports your wanting to put on your dmz

                            @emilien those are the uplink into the soc. where "pfsense" actually sees the traffic.

                            While the switch is part of the 7100, logically its no different really then just a switch you would plug into your router physical ports.. The ports 9,10 are the ports that connect to pfsense the switch. They are not just physical ports.

                            "8-port 1Gbps Marvell 88E6190 switch, uplinked at 5 Gbps (2x 2.5 Gbps) to Intel SoC for LAN "

                              @johnpoz Ok I understand now, I didn't get it when reading the tutorial. I feel stupid now, sorry about that.
