kreyzie

Hi ..im having some problem here..hope someone could shed some light..

i couldnt get dhcp from pfsense for my vlans

here is my setup

pfsense

em0 - Lan
re0 - Wan
em1 - Vlanoffice
em1 - vlanguest

Vlanoffice - vlan id 10
vlanguest - vlan id 20

dhcp is on for both vlan
firewall rules allow for both vlan
nat for both vlan

switch
port 1 - pfsense in
port 2/47 - unused
port 48 - wireless ap

vlan id 10 - port 1 tagged , port 48 untagged..
vlan id 20 - port 1 tagged , port 48 untagged
default vlan - port 48 untagged

wireless ap

ssid guest - vlan 20
ssid office - vlan 10

got my notebook connect to either 1 ssid , i get limited connection…

Since you have multiple VLANs from your AP: i expect them to be tagged.
In this case you would need to set the port 48 to tagged for both VLANs.

As a test: connect the AP directly to the pfSense (since you only seem to have one cable).

Hi just wanna reply my solution. The dhcp is working now

MY current setup is

vlan id 1 - port 1 Tagged , 2-48 untagged
vlan id guest - port 1 Tagged , port 48 Tagged

Wireless ap :
SSID guest - vlan id guest
SSID office - vlan id 1

And everything is working now…

I wouldn't never use the vlan id 1 for anything.
Since it's internally in the switch used for every frame per default it can really fast lead to a setup which doesn't work the way you want.

u suggest that i create a new vlan for office network rather than using vlan 1 ?

heper

yes. most people don't use vlan1 for any client connected systems

i personally have a couple of sites where i use vlan1 for all management interfaces.
these have the switch management interfaces and esx console interfaces etc etc etc
