thanks john,

thank you

John can you please help ?
i am stuck here.
i've bought the VLAN WLAN device
http://www.peplink.com/products/enterprise-access-point/pepwave-ap-one/#enterprise

VLAN is configured on the pfsense
VLAN 20 is configured on the switch on port 20
the AP is attached on port 20 on the switch.
VLAN 20 on the pfsense is having DHCP enabled
On the vSwitch i've created a port group with ALL (4095 ) but can't get it work

**when a use is connected to the AP they don't receive IP of VLAN 20 but of Default VLAN

what i am doing wrong ?

thank you**

Sounds like the AP is sending traffic to the switch untagged. Change your switch port to an untagged port on VLAN 20 and connect the AP to it.

That's fine but you can only do one SSID. Else you have to figure out how to tell the AP to tag the traffic from that SSID with VLAN 20 and leave the switchport like it is.

I notice you did not specify whether you made port 20 tagged or untagged on VLAN 20. It matters.

thank you so much for your answer.
the port 20 is untagged on the VLAN20 on the physical switch.
attached is a picture

PS : there is no cable right now just had to disaconnect it .

from the vswitch is the settings correct ?

The settings on the switch are wrong or it would be working. The switchport going to the AP needs to be configured to match whatever the AP is configured to do. Sorry, I don't have time to research your AP. You'll need to find out its capabilities.

A VLAN with only one port on it can't talk to anything else. Where is your tagged port going to pfSense?

sorry I didn't get the question,
can you ask it again ?

The fastest way to solve your issues is probably to find a networking text written in your native language that explains all this.

thank you for your answer.
the idea is to configure VLAN20 and VLAN 30 using pfsense as VM in the ESXI 6.0
on the physical switch configure two ports for VLAN 30 and 20
Connect the AP 20 in VLAN 20 on the physical switch and AP 30 In VLAN 30 port on the switch.
each VLAN is delivering a DHCP server .

thank you

Right. And I am in no mood to write up exactly how to configure all that for someone who apparently doesn't know the difference between tagged and untagged switch ports.

I hate to be harsh, but no. Maybe someone else.

thank you for your answer,
the issue here is not knowing the different between tag and untag is the explanation .
hopefully someone can be kind and help me here out .
