      Looks like when you switched off lagg0 it didn't unassign that IP, I'll check into that. If you reboot is everything brought up correctly?

        No, i am afraid not.
        It didn't after my upgrade and didn't after a fresh install.

          I just tried to add a vlan on lagg0, no dhcp this time.
          Just a vlan, added an interface gave it the 172.16.20.254 ip.
          Now i still cant ping that address form a machine within that vlan.
          And again i get errors in syslog about ifconfig, and an interesting one, the mac change. the machine in vlan2 has 2 interfaces and 2 ips on the vlan, and pfsense notices the machine but does not respond to his ping. nor routes its traffic.

          I have here the syslog part and the netstat -rn:

          [edit]
          the following line bothers me:

          172.16.20.0/24     link#10            U           0        0 lagg0_
          

          Shouldn't it be somethink more then lagg_ ?
          [/edit]

          I hope this sheds more light on the problem and someone can help me :-)

          Kind regards, Marcus

            I know…. I should not bump.

            But now the vacation is over. I would bring the topic under the attention of the experts.
            I am trying t provide as much info as possible. I cannot be the only one with the problem ???

            Kind Regards, Marcus van Dam

                Can you please edit interfaces.inc in /etc/inc and remove a line that has hwvlantag in it?!

                It should fix your problem.

                  Well, not really.
                  I can create the vlan, and it shows up in ifconfig,
                  But when i try to add an OPT2 interface and assign it to the vlan the webinterface hangs, the console still works until you press enter. You can press 8 to start and shell, but as soon as you run "ifconfig" the process freezes, you have to reboot with CRTL-ALT-DEL.

                  I hope this helps.

                      Deleting the line does not change anything, hw tagging are still shown on ifconfig. If I do ifconfig emX -vlanhwtag for every em nic I can get as fare as receiving a IP on my static failover trunk but even pinging the gateway fails.
                      As DJ wrote freezing often happens when assigning nics.

                        I cannot seem to get an interface assigned with vlanhwtag turned off. It worked when turned on.
                        Now it just crashes on every commando you give the machine after assigning.

                          Is everyone here trying using Intel em cards? Curious what driver(s) have issues, as that seems to be the cause.

                          I did get lagg + VLAN trunk working fine with fxp cards, haven't had a chance to test em yet but will, as well as a few other NICs I have available.

                            I am using the Intel® PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter (http://www.intel.com/products/server/adapters/pro1000mt-dualport/pro1000mt-dualport-overview.htm) in an Dell 1650 machine.
                            unfortunately i do not have a second setup to test with different cards.

                            It seems to be related to the em(4) driver.
