      @Cannondale your not testing this with AP are you.. Your putting actual devices on the ports that are in access mode.. I see a description of wifiUAP..

        No. I'm plugging in a Linux workstation to vlan20.

          @Cannondale so this lan1, you don't have it in a bridge or something do you?

          This makes zero sense really.. There should be nothing in the switch that should care if there a native untagged network on the port..

          the only thing that jumps out at me as different from your options is mine has NOMAP - but not exactly sure what that option is, can not seem to find any info on it in quick google.

          edit:
          Why do you not have?

          vlan: 6 vlanproto: 802.1q vlanpcp: 0 parent interface: igb2

          See where mine shows 802.1q??

            No bridge unless it is a factory default. I reset the switch before configuring anything.

            I did notice differences in the following ifconfig output lines:

            vlan: 20 vlanpcp: 0 parent interface: igb1
            vlan: 4 vlanproto: 802.1q vlanpcp: 0 parent interface: igb2

              @Cannondale I just sent a message to Steve.. @stephenw10 maybe he can see something I am missing..

              But it sure shouldn't matter if pfsense is using a native untagged on the interface along with tags..

              What version of pfsense are you running - what nic specific do you have? I mean its igb should be the same..

              I have been running vlans on pfsense since really pfsense came out, have never seen a issue with them on any hardware or any switches..

                "vlan: 20 vlanproto: 802.1q vlanpcp: 0 parent interface: ixl0"
                I also have that vlanproto in ifconfig output, so I'd say that there has to be something we are missing in Cannondale's pfSense config.

                  @mvikman but what? And that would matter if there was a native vlan or not.. The native is what wouldn't use any tagging..

                  @stephenw10 answered me back - so hoping he is reading over this long thread now and will chime in and make us all feel stupid ;)

                    Great!

                    What version of pfsense are you running

                    v2.6

                    @johnpoz said in No DHCP on pfSense VLAN with Cisco Smart Switch:

                    what nic specific do you have

                    Currently, the NIC in the pfSense box is a Dell / Intel HM9JY.
                    I have also tested with NIC Dell / Intel YT674.
                    The server board is a Supermicro X10SLH-F, which also has two Intel NICs.
                    I have tested with the second onboad NIC with the same results on the SG250.

                      Looks like both HM9JY and YT674 are Intel Pro 1000VT Quad Port Nics that use Intel 82575GB chip.
                      Supermicro board has Intel I210-AT chip.

                        If I remember correctly, the YT674 is a VT card with the 82575B controller while the HM9JY is an ET card and has the 82576 controller, which has slightly better capabilities.

                          @Cannondale Yeah, you're right the other one is an ET card. It adds support for SR-IOV and IPSec offload over VT card.
