VLAN assigned to WAN results in Network interface mismatch
-
Hello,
when I configure VLAN for my NIC and bind it to WAN in the initial setup it says the configuration is fine. But once I reboot, I get 'Network interface mismatch – Running interface assignment option.'
I have VDSL and therefore need to assign WAN to VLAN ID 7 of my NIC. This worked fine in pfSense 1.2.x
But I am having trouble in 2.0 embedded (I tried pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA-20090611-1712.img.gz in particular) on my ALIX 2c3 board.Here's what it looks like in the console:
Loading configuration......done. Network interface mismatch -- Running interface assignment option. Valid interfaces are: vr0 00:0d:b9:12:f3:60 (down) VIA VT6105M Rhine III 10/100BaseTX vr1 00:0d:b9:12:f3:61 (down) VIA VT6105M Rhine III 10/100BaseTX vr2 00:0d:b9:12:f3:62 (down) VIA VT6105M Rhine III 10/100BaseTX ath0 00:0b:6b:84:aa:49 (down) Atheros 5212 Do you want to set up VLANs first? If you are not going to use VLANs, or only for optional interfaces, you should say no here and use the webConfigurator to configure VLANs later, if required. Do you want to set up VLANs now [y|n]?n VLAN interfaces: vlan7 VLAN tag 7, interface vr1 *NOTE* pfSense requires *AT LEAST* 1 assigned interfaces to function. If you do not have *AT LEAST* 1 interfaces you CANNOT continue. If you do not have at least 1 *REAL* network interface cards or one interface with multiple VLANs then pfSense *WILL NOT* function correctly. If you do not know the names of your interfaces, you may choose to use auto-detection. In that case, disconnect all interfaces now before hitting 'a' to initiate auto detection. Enter the WAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection: vr1.vlan7 Enter the LAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection NOTE: this enables full Firewalling/NAT mode. (or nothing if finished): vr0 Optional interface 1 description found: OPT1 Enter the Optional 1 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection (or nothing if finished): vr2 Optional interface 2 description found: OPT2 Enter the Optional 2 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection (or nothing if finished): ath0 Enter the Optional 3 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection (or nothing if finished): The interfaces will be assigned as follows: LAN ->vr0 WAN ->vr1.vlan7 OPT1 -> vr2 OPT2 -> ath0 Do you want to proceed [y|n]?y Writing configuration....done. done. Network interface mismatch -- Running interface assignment option.I have tried variations on the VLAN interface name, when assigning it to WAN. It won't take vlan0, vlan7 but only vr1.vlan7 (which in itself should be correct). But once rebooted I get the very same thing.
What works is assigning the interfaces without a VLAN (but that does not help me, though):
Enter the WAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection: vr1 Enter the LAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection NOTE: this enables full Firewalling/NAT mode. (or nothing if finished): vr0 Optional interface 1 description found: OPT1 Enter the Optional 1 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection (or nothing if finished): vr2 Optional interface 2 description found: OPT2 Enter the Optional 2 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection (or nothing if finished): ath0 Enter the Optional 3 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection (or nothing if finished): The interfaces will be assigned as follows: LAN ->vr0 WAN ->vr1 OPT1 -> vr2 OPT2 -> ath0 Do you want to proceed [y|n]?yHere it retains the settings (but this is unusable for my setup, since that cuts me off from the Internet).
I also tried assigning it via web configuration at a later time. It correctly displayed the newly created and assigned VLAN (see this post's attachment). But upon reboot I get the exact same error…
Thanks a lot in advance!

Try a new snapshot should be fixed.

@ermal:
Try a new snapshot should be fixed.
Which file should I download and try exactly (7.2-REL 2.0 only has 1712 which I tried, 8-CURRENT 2.0 says that all embedded images are broken :().
Can you give me an exact link? Thanks! -

Hello ermal,
thank you for the links. But frankly I have no idea how to integrate these code changes into one of the embedded images. I was hoping for a link to a working embedded image, that I can copy onto the CompactFlash disk directly. [Since the website sais "WARNING: Embedded images are broken", I assume that they all are… and that the only working image ist the 1712 I tried - correct me if I'm assuming wrong ;)]
Or is there an easy way to make those two changes in a running pfSense 2.0 alpha-alpha built 1712 which is retained in the next boot? (I tried using vi on the two files, but when trying to write with w! I only get read-only filesystem)
Thanks again for your help! I'd really like to get this working :P

Before going into vi run /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
and after you finish with editing run /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro -
@PWC:
vlan7 VLAN tag 7, interface vr1
Enter the WAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection: vr1.vlan7
Shouldn't it be vlan7 only without vr1. parent interface reference?–--
Well, thanks Ermal, even I got it now "/* VLANs are name $parent.$vlan now */" -
Hello ermal,
I made the changes and the interface is now accepted (thanks for that).
But I'm affraid I'm still out of luck with connecting to the Internet using VLAN7….Here's the error I get in system.log
