      Just an update. Successfully rolled the firmware back to v2.4.0.94.
      This scrambled many of the previously configured settings in the switch so had to reconfirm everything to get back to where I was before the roll back. Unfortunately, the roll back did not change the PVID issue.

      Changed port 24 (VLAN10) and port 22 (VLAN20) from Access to Trunk. Note that those are to only two options!
      Ran show tech-support again (output of port 22 and 24 below). Both still show
      Ingress UnTagged VLAN ( NATIVE ): 1

      The output above is still not showing port mode so here is the output of "sho interfaces switchport gi24 and g122:

      Next step is to rebuilding the config from scratch from the cli as marvosa suggested.
      Thanks again!

            Thanks for trying to shake the trees johnpoz!
            Started vlan config from scratch. Cleared all vlan config using GUI and only worked in the cli.
            Clearing the vlan config using the GUI appears to leave remnant config information when doing the config via cli. Is there a way in cli to clear all vlan config for a particular vlan?

            This is what I have so far:

            The one thing that looks odd to me is:
            do sho run int gi1 shows: Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 1 (Inactive)

            Does this output look correct?

              no not really..

              What does your sho tech show for port gi24?

              Name: gi24
              Switchport: enable
              Administrative Mode: access
              Operational Mode: up
              Access Mode VLAN: 10
              Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 1
              Trunking VLANs: 1,10
                                      2-9,11-4094 (Inactive)
              General PVID: 1
              

              For an access port - the native vlan should be the same as the vlan.

              It is never going to work if inbound traffic into the port that is not tagged does not get put into vlan 10.

                  Nope - this switch seems worse then the shit tplink when they wouldn't let you remove vlan 1..

                  Well time to start moving up the firmware releases from the one your on now - maybe they had one that wasn't broken..

                    LOL

                    I flashed the firmware back to the latest version before starting the cli-based config.
                    I’m thinking it time to move on from this switch. Not worth the many hours invested for such a simple task!
                    I always thought highly of Cisco switches but this one has caused me to sour on the brand a bit!
                    Is there another bland / model smart poe switch that you would suggest I research?

                      @cannondale yeah I could see that, but I love my sg350's they have been rock freaking solid that is for sure..

                      how many ports you need/want.. How many of those poe? I have been keeping an eye for my unicorn switch.. No luck as of yet..

                      What poe are you looking for, I assume poe+, 802.3at, but there is the new 802.3bt in 60w and 100w options as well.

                          Just for fun, as a comparison, here's the config from my CBS250 switch, looks almost identical in format/command wise as Cannondale's SG250
                          Everything is working as it should, pfSense interface has only VLANS configured.

                            @mvikman Hey could you post the output of your show tech so we can see what it says the pvid is..

                            say ports 4 and 5 that have vlan 20 and 2000 on them.

                            Where his was showing..

                            Ingress UnTagged VLAN ( NATIVE ): 1

                            When the lan was suppose to be 10.

                                Thanks mvikman!

                                  gi1: trunk port to pfSense
                                  gi2: trunk port to Wifi Ap
                                  gi3: access port to main pc
                                  gi4: access port homeserver
                                  gi5: empty port (in "port park" vlan)

                                    How is that suppose to work if untagged traffic comes into that port onto vlan 1

                                      I would say this is pretty normal.

                                      look at this sg350X :

                                      trunk port with native vlan 2, works perfectly.

                                          Well, everything works even if it looks borked...

                                          Hmm... looking at the CBS-series CLI guide, "switchport mode" has these parameters
                                          • access—Specifies an untagged layer 2 VLAN port.
                                          • trunk—Specifies a trunking layer 2 VLAN port.
                                          • general—Specifies a full 802-1q-supported VLAN port.
                                          • customer—Specifies that an edge port connected to customer equipment. Traffic received from this port
                                          will be tunneled with the additional 802.1q VLAN tag (Q-in-Q VLAN tunneling).

                                          Also seems that those Ingress VLAN and PVID values are only used when the port is in General mode

                                            hmmm lets asume that the switch is working properly.

                                            if we set the workstation manually to the desired ip address/mask and gateway, there
                                            should be a ping answer from the gateway on the pfsense.
                                            just an idea to check this out.

                                            next : change the workstation port to lets say port 23 and try to set the vlan there

                                            and maybe : reboot pfsense and change the cables
