      well, you can use only one cable to hp-vlan switch, just tag port with all vlans you need and connect re1.

      But if you need more then 100Mbit, you may need two interfaces.

        ok, i do follow what your saying, but now i dont understand the purpose of a VLAN.  in this scenario, i am not creating a VLAN, i am just creating another LAN.

        i guess this is why i never tried to setup a vlan, everytime i try, i get going in 5 different directions and can never get down the basics.

        thanks.

          also, if there is a better way to setup a VLAN to do some practical testing, let me know and i would be glad to give that way a shot.

          thanks.

            on your switch configure:

            • wifi port with vlan 100 untaged

            • firewall port with vlan 1 and 100 tagged

            on firewall configure:

            • vlan1 on re1 for lan interface

            • vlan100 on re1 for wifi interface

            • Assign dhcp range 192.168 to lan

            • Assign dhcp range 10.0.10 for wifi

            After this, you will have two working networks on re1.

              ok.  for the wifi port on the hp switch…i will untag that...what should i do with the rest?  e?

              for the firewall port, i will tag 1 and 100, but what do i with the rest...e?

                The default vlan id is 1 and default configuration for all ports are vlan id 1 untag, so you do not need to do anything, just check if it's configured on your switch

                  what about vlan100?

                        ok, i am going to do that now, but this is why i am confused

                        "The default vlan id is 1 and default configuration for all ports are vlan id 1 untag, so you do not need to do anything, just check if it's configured on your switch"

                        makes it seem like i need to leave everything as is on the default vlan…but like i said, i am changing it now.

                          when i go to make these changes on vlan1 it tells me i might lose web management connection.

                          also, is the wifi port, port 1 as well, or should i use port 2 for that?

                            change configuration with a machine connected to any port other then ports you are changing

                            leave port 1 for firewall machine as you are tagging vlan on it and use port 2 for the wifi router as you are not changing anything there.

                            when you use tagged ports, the machine/router plugged on this port must have vlan tags configured to work

                            when you use untag portsm the machine does not need to know that it is on a vlan.

                            just pay attention to do not use tag and untag on same port.

                              vlan 100 (wifi)

                              E T E E E E E E

                              is what i should end up with?

                                this way:

                                T E U U U U U U

                                vlan 100 (wifi)

                                T U E E E E E E

                                port 1 firewall

                                port 2 wifi

                                  port 2 wifi

                                  ok, so once a port is tagged, it has to be marked as tagged in every vlan you create?

                                  i just made those changes…moving to pfsense now.

                                      Lan will be vlan1 on re1 and opt1 will be vlan100 on re1.

                                      Disconnect re2

                                        and then i can plug in my 16 port netgear into a port on the HP that i didnt configure yet…we forgot to calculate that.  everything on that 16 port netgear is on 192.168.1.0 /24 network...do i need to tag another port on the hp vlan switch?

                                        so it will look like this

                                        isp-----cable modem-------pfsense-------hp vlan switch--------16 port netgear

                                          Or use re2 as opt2 to connect netgear.
