      i set up DATA VLAN (10.18.66.0/24)for our main LAN and everything works (lan, wan traffic)
      then i added another NEW_VLAN (10.18.166.0/29) for a couple devices that have to be isolated from DATA VLAN but able to access the internet.

      I configured the switch and pfsense/switch trunk ports and i'm able to get the ip address on the NEW_VLAN. However I can't ping WAN. i set up allow all rule for that LAN but still no dice.

      using public DNS too, not internal one on DATA_VLAN

      any ideas ?

      Thanks

        when you say can not ping wan?  Can you not ping devices on the wan of pfsense, or can not ping pfsense wan IP?

        Can you ping public IP like say 8.8.8.8 ?

        Is pfsense natting or is the wan you talking about another internal network?

          hi,

          here's a few screenshots i did.

          I hooked up a PC to the NEW_VLAN(CC) port which i believe is set up correctly on the switch and pfsense as it's getting a DHCP address from the new VLAN pool.
          for easy troubleshooting I allowed all traffic from both VLANs.
          I can't ping 8.8.8.8 from CC but I can ping public pfsense WAN (email server hooked up to DATA VLAN)

          pfsense is natting.

            Hi,

            Have Outbound NAT selected and had to add mappings for the new VLAN. Can ping from the CC VLAN now.

            Thanks
