Alix2d3 with 3 LANs - I need more than 3!

costasppc

Unfortunately, it is not working. I have set the ports to untagged. When I assign the interface as PPPoE, it shows down. When it assigned as VLAN, it shows connected.

Please check images.

Best regards

trunk port has to be tagged

all the ports what is connected to computers and other "end devices" should not use vlans unless those are introduced to these machines

costasppc

Thanks.

So, trunk port must be tagged for all VLANs and VLAN port must be untagged.

What about interface assignment, must be the PPPoE setting?

Thanks for the help so far.

what about it(PPPoE)?

costasppc

Shall I use PPPoE for interface assignment?

Thanks

it depends about your modem settings, is it in bridging mode or routing mode?
if bridging, then you should use PPPoE, if modem had that one also(while routing with modem)

costasppc

It is bridging, and it works OK if I connect it to the normal (not OPT) WAN port.

are you having ip-address in vr2 also
this question is because, if you have vlans on interface vr2 and vr2 is physical interface, that is undesired situation because it may break something.

you are saing that if modem is connected to wan-if straight it works
but if you connect it to vlan-if it doesn't work
and your settings are: internet–modem--(vlan10 untagged)switch(vlan10 tagged)--pfsense

costasppc

It worked. I have followed the guides from the Definitive guide book.
The general idea is:
Trunk port=tagged for VLANs
VLAN ports=untagged AND PVID set to each port for its respective VLAN.

interface assignment in PFSense is to PPPoE. Worked as a gateway fine.

I do not have IP addresses in vr2. I have VLANs on interface vr2 and yes, it is a physical interface.
How can I check if I have ip address?

Regarding the modem, I had this modem connected to the first WAN (no VLAN) port as a bridge for PPPoE and worked OK. There must be the changes above that prevented it from working in PPPoE mode in the VLAN port.

I will post images for others to get help (if any) soon.

I will see how it works.

Thanks for the help so far!

went bit over, is this solved or not?

you can goto interfaces:vr2 and check if that interface is static and set ip-address to it

costasppc

I think we can consider it solved :)

If any problem occurs, I will post.

I will post the images soon as well.

Best regards and thank you all for your patience.
