      NICs that appear as ix are using the ixgbe(4) driver. You don't need to install anything, just configure the VLANs.

        Previous I tried set vlan with x540 lancard Failed, So I doing test with realtek lancard.
        I success set vlan with realtek lancard.
        After Seeing your comment, I set vlan with x540 lancard again, but it still fails.
        I set LAN Interface in x540 as "TEST" and set Subinterface as VLAN200.
        But, There are no packets coming into "TEST" and VLAN200.

          What does ifconfig -v show at the command line for those inerfaces?

          How are you testing?

            Thank you for reply.
            Please check attached file for the output value of "ifconfig -v" you mentioned
            ifconfig.txt

            Also, Please check below contents and share me advice.

            I connected below info.

            PC is connected to port 13 in L2 Switch
            Pfsense connected to port 23 in L2 Switch and port 23 configure trunk

            I did set network of pc.

              Do you have a firewall rule to pass that on VLAN_200?

              The other output looks good.

              If you run a pcap on ix0 and include tagged traffic you should see those pings incoming and correctly tagged.

                I have missing picture from previous post....
                rule of VLAN_200 set to Any allowed.

                Please check below picture.
                And Please share me advice.
                Thank you.

                  Ok, then run pcap on the ix0 interface and make sure you're actually seeing the tagged traffic arrive.

                    Ah you could be hitting this if you have hardware vlan tagging disabled for some reason: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13381

                    It shows as enabled in your ifconfig output though....

                      But you should try 2.7.2 anyway if you're still running 2.6 now.

                        Hello @stephenw10
                        I upgraded pfsense from 2.6 to 2.7.
                        So, I completed vlan tag(sub interface)
                        Thank you.

                            Yes, I upgraded pfsense 2.7 (not 2.7.2)

                            Thank you.
