      I am using an Intel E823-L Network card which uses the ICE driver in pfSense 2.7

      Adding a single VLAN to the Interface is fine, but if you try and add a second, third, or more, you get the following error;

      ice0: Failure adding VLAN 530 to main VSI, err ICE_ERR_AQ_ERROR aq_err AQ_RC_EINVAL

      Does anyone know if there is a way to resolve this issue and add more than one VLAN?

            Thank you for your reply.

            Can you assign more than 1 VLAN to the Intel E823-L network interfaces?

            I get the error when trying to assign 2nd, 3rd, etc. VLAN to the network interface.

              @Bruce74 I have the exact same report as you when adding 2,3, etc but not in the web interface only in the terminal does it report the failure. All the vlans are working as expected and if I didn’t look at the terminal I would never have noticed anything because the web interface works as expected. I have the intel E823-C btw.

                  I have just tested and despite the "Failure adding VLAN" errors in the terminal VLANs are working.

                  Thank you.
