Multiple NIC ports with different VLANs connection to switch
-
@Hoserman Really dude.. I am really at a loss on how else to explain this too you.. I showed using tags for when your going to carry more than 1 vlan over the wire.. Have already stated multiple times that you do not need to create vlans or tags on pfsense if your just putting the network native on the interface in pfsense.
Your interface lan - this is a native network.. All switches default vlan 1 it is not tagged.. Create another vlan on your switch, lets call it vlan 4.. Now on the port your other interface on pfsense that is connected to put that port in vlan 4 on your switch.. No tags.. Now put another port that you say connect your laptop too and on your switch put that in vlan 4 on your switch..
There you go your new 192.168.4 network is isolated from your lan network.

What I want to do is separate my vlans on Separate Nic wires.
As I said, you do that at the switch. You only have to use VLANs in pfSense if you're carrying more than one network over one interface, as in my example.
-
@Hoserman you are confusing the terminology of VLANS with separate networks.
VLANS = multiple virtual networks with a single parent NICYou have two NICs, well assuming you have at least 3 with one being your WAN, each NIC is a discrete physically separate network. Nothing virtual about it.

@johnpoz I'm just learning about this stuff as I hope you can tell. I understand your impatience but you act as if everyone out there knows what your talking about without explaining yourself in simple to understand terms rather than repeating the same "That's Not A VLAN." Ok maybe you could explain what your concept is of a VLAN Is.
I too have lost patience with you as I stated earlier.
But now that we have gotten to this point and you have explained yourself I Thank you for your assistance. -

@ahking19 Thanks, I understand now.

@JKnott Thanks, I'll do it at the switch level.

@JKnott Hi jknott
So, I can delete the vlans I created in PFsense and just create the vlans on the switch?
Will the switch block the traffic between the vlans? -

Yes.

Yes.

@JKnott Thanks, I appreciate the help...

@Hoserman
You were confusing layer 2 and layer 3 traffic. Be careful not to create a routing loop. STP is your friend when working with multiple networks. STP is Spanning Tree Protocol which you want to use to protect your network. There are at least 3 versions of STP that come to mind right now. Some converge faster than others.
