Best way to add vlan to the lan interface?

romainp

Hi all,
I am playing with vlans does days but I still have some issue affecting a vlan tag to the lan interface. Each attempts that I have made had result with a lost of the lan interface so I am wondering with on of you guys can give me the steps to achieve this.
right now, I have this

LAN (192.170.1.1) -> em1
LAN has also a DHCP attached

I have tried this:

Add vlan to em1
switch LAN from em1 to VLAN1

But at this point I loose my connectivity to the pf box

So I have tried:

Add VLAN1 to em1
Add OP1 to em1
move OPT1 to VLAN1
switch LAN from em1 to opt1

But I am not sure if this is the correct way.

Can you give me some hints or advice to add a vlan tag to the lan interface?

Thanks

Should we assume you've already read:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VLAN_Trunking

and

http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN_using_VLANs_with_pfSense

Admittedly, the second link does much more than you want, but it should give you a decent overview of what you need to do.

Hint: Don't assign the LAN interface to em1, use the em1 interface as your trunk interface.
