How to get pfSense WAN to accept VLAN 0
-
Thanks Stephen, thats good to know.

@stephenw10
Is there any chance vlan0 can be fixed in 2.6 with tunable??
Reason I'm asking is my brother uses pfSense also, and he does not have a problem getting an address from Frontier. My router at his house does not get an address because of vlan0.
I had him give me his config and I'm gonna try to put it on the same hardware he uses to see if it works at my house but I can't imagine it's that easy.
Just a fluke maybe? -
I'm not aware of any tunable that would do it. What driver is that? Did you try 22.05 there? Or are you able to?
-
@stephenw10
I didn't.
He's using 2.6 as am I and I can't understand why he's not effected by vlan0. -
@jarhead Is her using pfsense as a VM? The software switch strip out the vlan tag
-
@michaellacroix
Nope. Protectli vault.
I have the same hardware for my test router.
His works, mine doesn't.Might try his config on my protectli this weekend just to see if it'll work at my house.
-
@jarhead Let us know your findings.
-
@jarhead I wonder if frontier is making changes so their fiber offerings are compatible to all third party products.
-
Hmm, that's weird. Were you able to confirm they are actually using VLAN0 there?
-
@stephenw10
Yes. Plus, if they weren't, my router would have worked also. -
Yeah, it would just be easy to think you are hitting that because you expect to.
I know of no reason why two nearly identical devices would behave differently.
Different NIC firmware maybe? -
Hi Stephen, can you verify 22.11 that is scheduled for November of this year will be using freebsd 14 or main (as it is)?
Thanks -
That is certainly the intention. You can never be 100% sure but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't at this point.

I loaded dev snapshot this morning onto my back-up router em0 and wasn't able to connect on VLAN0. I don't have a way to test igb0 without taking my main router down.
-
@c45p32 I will be using my test pc this afternoon and it has the em0 driver also. I'll let you know my results also.
-
In my testing here neither igb or em appear to pass vlan0 tagged traffic. It doesn't appear in a pcap.
But other drivers do and pfSense will accept and respond to that without netgraph.So as I understand it the script does work in Opnsense / FreeBSD 13.1?
Can someone confirm that?If so it's either a regression in 14 or they have patched it themselves. Or they are using the kmod non-iflib driver.

@stephenw10 Opnsense works with em and vlan0.
-
@jarhead Hasn't Opnsense not had this problem at all (natively working with VLAN0)?
-
@schwiing Just since moving to FreeBSD 13. Had the same issue before 13 though, ie not accepting vlan0.
-
@jarhead Sounds right. I'd assume then with PFsense going to FreeBSD 14, this should be solved...maybe i wont need a switch between the ONT and Router.
