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

      Have you got another switch you can try?

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

        Thank you!

          I already tested the setup using another switch, but the issue still persists.

            @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).
