        Unless you want to use lagg you don't need it ;)

            You simply assign the created vlans on the assign page like a normal interface.
            From a usability point of view there is no difference between a vlan interface and a physical interface.

              Yes Both my VLAN 10 and 20 are assigne to and interface VLAN 10 as DATAVLAN and VLAN 20 as VOICEVLAN, i have configured my switch for testing, PORT 1 is the pfSense port (vr2) that is my optional port on the netgate box, i have tagged vlan 10 and 20 and the default vlan id if not submitted by the connected device is 10 so a subnet of 192.168.10.0/24. and port 2-4 on the switch are configure as untagged 10-20, with default id to 10 too. when i connect my laptop to the port 2, i get the ip adress: 192.168.10.100 wich is just perfect, but i cannot ping the 192.168.10.1 that is suppose to be the pfsense box. i have created those rules in the pfsense VLAN firewall setting:

              
              ID 	Proto 	Source 	Port 	Destination 	Port 	Gateway 	Queue 	Schedule 	Description 	
              	* 	DATAVLAN address 	* 	* 	* 	* 	none 	  	Default allow VLAN10 to any rule  	
              	* 	VOICEVLAN net 	* 	* 	* 	* 	none 	  	Default allow VLAN20 to any rule  	
              	* 	LAN net 	* 	* 	* 	* 	none 	  	Default allow LAN to any rule  	
              
              

              I have those rule on all LAN and VLAN interface but i'm not able to commnunicate with the pfsense box on the vlan!

                You have as source "DATAVLAN address" instead of "DATAVLAN net".

                You don't need to create all those rules on all interfaces.
                Rules are only evaluated on the interface they are arriving.

                    Start with
                    source: any, destination: any

                    Then begin to restrict according to your needs.

                      Ok, i'm still having problem to figure out what are my issue here. So here is what i need to be done if someone can help it would be really awesome.

                      This is for a VoIP network, i have a Asterisk server, some analog gateway and some Aastra IP phone, all thos devices support vlan tagging. The aastra phone a a PC port and i would like to be able to use it, i have a option to set wich VLAN the PC port will be on and wich VLAN de LAN port will be on.

                      I Would like to have
                      VLAN1: 192.168.0.0/24 (DATA)
                      VLAN2: 192.168.1.0/24 (VOICE)

                      I use a NETGEAR FS728TP and a NETGATE with pfSense 2.0 RC1.

                      What i want is all device to connect automatically to VLAN1 by default since no device have VLAN tag set in them by default, i want the Asterisk server tftp server avaible from both VLAN so the phone will be able to download it's config file and set the VLAN2 and reboot to start on the VLAN2 and log on the server.
                      I want every device to be like that.

                      What my question is, wich port should i set to tagged, wich port should i set to untagged and for wich VLAN ? I have a port PVID configuration page in the NETGEAR switch that i think set the default VLAN to connect if there is none set by the device. Am i wrong? So what are the VLAN membership for every port that as a device connected to it? and what are the setting for the pfSense port ? By the way, every device connected to the VLAN1 will not set the ID in the packet, the switch must default it to VLAN1. Is it doable and how please?

                      Thanx a lot!!

                        This sounds to me like your IP Phones already send tagged traffic to the switch.
                        In this case you would have to add the ports on the switch as tagged members of the VLAN.
                        The PVID would be set to the VLAN on which you get the config.
