      @BigA I assume you have an interface in pfSense for the VLAN, and it is the gateway for the devices in that VLAN. Create firewall rules on that interface to allow the traffic you want to allow.

      Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

        @SteveITS Yes all interfaces are created

        I want to be able to get to all Switches that have static ips and are all on the LAN 1.xxx from the
        admin_200.xxx subnets.

        Firewall rules for LAN

        Maybe this helps.

          @BigA Your admin rule there is allow all and has 47 open states/connections.

          Do the switches have their gateway set to pfSense?

              @BigA why do you have vlan 1 with a tag created? Your interface is just native (untagged) in your assignments. Tagging vlan 1 is not something you do..

              Common problem do you have gateway set on your switches, or just an IP? If they do not point back to pfsense as their gateway, they would never be able to answer someone from another network, ie your vlan 200 network.

                Common problem do you have gateway set on your switches, or just an IP? Just IP port 1>>TL_SG3428. If they do not point back to pfsense as their gateway, they would never be able to answer someone from another network, ie your vlan 200 network.
                Ok Now I need understanding has to how to Point back to Pfsense as
                gateway in the Switch

                  @BigA what is the switch make/model..

                  For example.. Here is one of my switch, how it looks in the gui, and how it looks from cli and the config

                  config.jpg

                  192.168.9.253 is pfsense IP on this network.

                  Vlan 9 is just the default vlan for this switch, changed it from vlan 1

                    @johnpoz Ok i see what needs to happen, let me dig into to switch be back shortly.

                    Ok I forgot I have 2 switches in Play here SG 3428 main Switch and added this SG 2428P- POE for 14 cameras on main Building.
                    Port 1 main switch is tied to Pfsense LAN(ProtectLI 4 Port Firewall box) Untagged port ON MAIN SWITCH. Port 24 tagged to Port 24 Sg2428P (Trunk) Port 23 untagged SG2428P Vlan 200 adminwifi
                    Hope that sounds right.

                    Sending Pics of Each Switch setup shortly.

                        @johnpoz Please forgive me Im learning here so lets just start with how to get main switch pointed back at PFsense

                        STATIC ROUTING3428.jpg

                        This look right

                          @BigA well what is pfsense IP on this network.. Their default gateway should point to pfsense.. Are there multiple switches, daisy chained?

                          But their management interface I take it 192.168.1.x and pfsense is what 192.168.1.1?

                          If pfsense is 1.1 and that switch is 1.2 then yeah that should work and you should be able to get to it from remote network now.. can you ping the IP? from your 200 vlan?

                          its also possible there is some security setup, to only allow access to the management gui from local network? I don't have a tplink like that.. Only a cheap l2 smart vlan model, which has not as feature rich as that one.

                          tpink.jpg

                          I am accessing that switches gui from my 192.168.9 network, you can see its on a 192.168.7 network

                            @johnpoz said in Access from Vlan to main Lan Devices:

                            well what is pfsense IP on this network.. Their default gateway should point to pfsense.. Are there multiple switches, daisy chained? YES

                            But their management interface I take it 192.168.1.x <<YES and pfsense is what 192.168.1.1<<YES

                            If pfsense is 1.1 and that switch is 1.2 then yeah that should work and you should be able to get to it from remote network now.. can you ping the IP? from your 200 vlan? The Only IP that I can Ping is the IP 200.1 Pfsense. 100.1 Pfsense 1.1 Pfsense. Cannot ping anything esle Thats when I on the VLAN 200 network

                            its also possible there is some security setup, to only allow access to the management gui from local network? I don't have a tplink like that.. Only a cheap l2 smart vlan model, which has not as feature rich as that one.

                              @BigA so you can not ping pfsense IP 192.168.1.1 address from your 200.x device?

                              Oh you can ping pfsense IP 1.1, well not being able to ping something on say the 192.168.1.0/24 network but can ping pfsense 192.168.1.1 points to that device your trying to ping firewall or wrong gateway setup.

                              Sniff on the pfsense 1.1 interface, while you ping say 192.168.1.x from your 200 network, do you see pfsense send the pings on?

                              edit example... Here I know my work laptop security will not answer ping.. So pinging from my 192.168.9 network to its address 192.168.6.101, sniffing on pfsense 192.168.6 interface I can see pfsense send the pings, just no answers.

                              example.jpg

                              If your 200 vlan rules allow you to ping the pfsense 192.168.1.1 address, but you get no answer pinging something else on the 192.168.1.x network - this screams something on the device your pinging, be it firewall/security on it, wrong gateway, wrong mask.. But your mask looks right /24 255.255.255.0 if you had say a /16 on the switch, then yeah you would have problems talking to it from some other network that was anything 192.168

                                  Ok this is interesting
                                  All the switches are not visible in the scan. i can ping all ips here with no issues

                                    Well clearly sent it on.. so you not getting an answer is not pfsense.. I would validate in the arp table of pfsense that the mac address you show for 192.168.1.3 is valid for your 192.168.1.3 device.

                                    But clearly pfsense sent on the traffic, it has no control if the device actually got it, or that it answers back to pfsense.

                                    edit: how are you seeing mac address from device on another network.. Mac are only viable on the same L2 network.. There really should be no way to get a mac address for some device on another network.. the only mac you would send traffic to get off your network would be your gateways mac..

                                        @BigA so is that correct mac for 1.3?

                                        As to your scan.. Showing that mac address for devices on another network points to lack of isolation between your networks..

                                        Here so scanning from my pc with that same scanner - notice no mac addresses for anything on 192.168.2, but shows mac for everything on the same network 192.168.9

                                        scan.jpg

                                        You got something else going on - pfsense clearly sent on the ping from your 200.x address to the mac it knows for 192.168.3 - if that device does not answer there is nothing pfsense can do about it.

                                          Looking at the Ip Scanner those MAC adresses are for HP printers tied to the network in other building.

                                          I believe there must be some security feature in the switches that is stopping access.
