Trouble adding new VLAN to network.
-
For the past couple of years, I've had VLAN setup and it's been working fine. I am now trying to setup a new VLAN for my IP cameras.
I assigned port 5 on my managed switch to VLAN 500. I added VLAN 500 in pfSense and setup DHCP for VLAN 500.
When I connect my laptop to that port on the switch, my laptop just says "unknown network" and gets an ip address beginning 192 (I forgot to write down the actual address.
When I assign this switch port to VLAN 100, my laptop successfully gets an IP address that is within the VLAN 100 DHCP parameters.
My router should NEVER assign an IP address beginning with 192:
VLAN 1 - is all the basic network devices (router, switch WiFi AP) 10.1.0.0/24
VLAN100 - is for my laptop and work computer and any other such devices I eventually add. 10.10.0.0/24
VLAN200 - IoT Devices (Home Assistant, Google Smart Speakers, Shelly Devices) 10.20.0.0/22
VLAN300 - Guest Network 10.30.0.0/24
VLAN400 - Servers (NAS & Mail Server -- others to be added in future) 10.40.0.0/24Here are screenshots of the managed switch VLAN settings.

169.254.x.x?
This is an APIPA address range. A DHCP client takes an IP out of it, if no DHCP server responses its requests.On the switch you have to add the trunk port to the VLAN 500 to connect it to pfSense.

Thanks. I knew it was a default IP address -- that's the first time I've ever seen a name put to it though.
I'll double-check when I get home tonight. But I thought I did have it in the trunk.
