      Exactly.  There's really nothing else to do in pfSense.  With that rule you should be able to get DHCP and ping the interface address.  With automatic outbound NAT you should be avle to get at the internet.

      What kind of switch are you using?  It sounds like it's not configured correctly.

      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            Was the switch config wrong?

            What do you want your floating rules to do?

              the switch ended up working great, turns out it was that i the rules werent set up right for the VLAN
              but my boss deleted all but 2 of the VLANs i set up, so now i gotta reset those up.
              I was wondering if how to set up the floating rule for any any any?
              i really dont want to set up the same rule for 200 VLANs

                don't use floating rules for that …. create an interface group for this purpose.

                  so the ones that have the rule already set,
                  should i exclude them from the group
                  or delete the rules from those and add them to the group,
                  or does it not really matter?

                    or would the best way be to add new rule based on this rule and just change the interface each time, thus creating the same rule for a new VLAN?

                      It really depends on what you want your rules to do, which is what I asked before.  What are you trying to accomplish?  What do you want each vlan to have/not have access to?

                        thats a very good question, my boss only gives me little pieces as to what i need to do and thats part of the reason im on here, because ive been been working on this for over a week and im over it but, right now my boss wants to get on the internet with each one. i guess that answers my question though, thanks. im just going to add a new rule based on this rule and change the interface.
