      @smsigroupit just a remark: I'm still baffled that on the switch it allows not tagged VLAN 1 traffic on ports that have PVID set to 27. That really should not happen.

        Update:
        I already tried reverting to version 24.11, but the issue still persists.

        Thank you.

          I also tested by changing the interface to igc1 for both LAN and VLAN, but the problem remains.

          Thank you!

            Have you got another switch you can try?

              I will test the setup using another switch and provide an update afterward.

              Thank you!

                  @smsigroupit on another note: you have setup all the necessary firewall rules (one allow all rules at least) on the VLAN interfaces, I assume?

                    • Yes

                    When I disable Suricata, the VLAN works correctly. Which Suricata configuration could be interfering with VLAN functionality?

                        I never used Suricata, someone else has to chime in. A search in the forum for 'suricata vlan' could be a start.
                        For example Important Info: Inline IPS Mode with Suricata and VLANs, post 4 talks about having to disable hardware features on ix0 to make it work with VLANs.

                            @smsigroupit although I'm not using it myself, it be interesting to see if ifconfig ix1 -vlanhwcsum -vlanhwfilter -vlanhwtag does work for you as mentioned the thread.

                              Yes, I tested it and it is working.

                              ifconfig ix1 -vlanhwcsum -vlanhwfilter -vlanhwtag

                              I also added these cron jobs:

                              Job 1 - Set VLAN flags on ix1
                              Minute: @reboot
                              User: root
                              Command:
                              /bin/sh -c 'sleep 25 && /sbin/ifconfig ix1 -vlanhwcsum -vlanhwfilter -vlanhwtag'

                              Job 2 - Restart Suricata after VLAN flags
                              Minute: @reboot
                              User: root
                              Command:
                              /bin/sh -c 'sleep 45 && /usr/sbin/service suricata restart'

                              Thank you.

                                Excellent news.

                                If you like to use something that survives a reinstall, have a look at the 'Shellcmd' package (documentation: Executing Commands at Boot).

                                  Got it, will explore 'Shellcmd' package

                                  Thank you!
