          What firewall rules did you put on OPT5?

              How about you post it so we can see what you've really done.

                  Your rule is TCP-only. That's why we ask for screenshots.

                    the rule was any any (and still the vlan interface on my pc couldnt get ip address or communicate with manual ip ). later i had deleted that rule and vlan interface and recreated it and forgot to make the rule for all not just tcp ..

                    so i again made it true any to any using any protocole and still my pc is unable to communicate.

                    i have intel pro 1000 gt network card in my pc and on the lan interface of firewall.

                    also tried capturing packets on vlan 60 opt couldnt see any packet . when i disabled the adapter for vlan 60 on my pc and reenabled it.

                      I have no idea what to tell you to do on Windows.

                      At this point I suggest you get at least a web-smart switch since it sounds like you really don't quite know what you're looking at.

                        VLAN_HWTAGGING

                        Definitely supported.  However, I don't see the em0_vlan60 interface.  Would be tough to connect on that interface if it didn't exist, no?

                          True. Is it enabled and assigned an IP address, etc?

                          And, looking closer, there should not be an em0_vlan1 interface. Untagged (default VLAN 1) traffic would simply be on em0, not em0_vlan1.

                            How about you post it so we can see what you've really done.

                            does it even supports vlan ?

                            @Derelict:

                            True. Is it enabled and assigned an IP address, etc?

                            And, looking closer, there should not be an em0_vlan1 interface. Untagged (default VLAN 1) traffic would simply be on em0, not em0_vlan1.

                            Definitely supported.  However, I don't see the em0_vlan60 interface.  Would be tough to connect on that interface if it didn't exist, no?

                            No luck with above configuration.

                              Interface is enabled
                              Dhcp scope is configured and enabled
                              allow any to any using any protocol rule enabled
                              Only vlan 60 exists. In vlan tab.
                              Added to interfaces list.
                              Still no luck. Can't get ip on that interface neither can communicate using manual ip assignment

                                That all looks better.

                                Make a trunk port with allowed vlan 60 and patch it to em0

                                Make an access port on vlan 60 and plug in any laptop set to DHCP.

                                Wait for spanning-tree to do its thing and you should be on 192.168.60.0/24

                                  i did a reboot and now its working when directly connected to lan port..
                                  but it doesnt works when an ap is inserted in between pfsense and server.
                                  the ap is tplink wifirouter (tl-wr740n) using ddwrt in ap mode . (wan port disabled. routing disabled. dhcp relaying enabled )..

                                  it seems that it doesnt supports vlans as its atheros based chip in this ap.

                                  however my issue is resolved.

                                  tried with cisco 3550 was able to trunk pfsense lan to cisco port 1 and another trunk from cisco port 7 to server.

                                    Good to hear.

                                    What did you reboot?

                                    I add and remove VLANs all the time on 2.1.5 and 2.2.6 I never have to reboot pfSense to make it work.

                                    If it works on two tagged ports it should work directly connected, as long as you don't need a crossover cable (or use a crossover cable).

                                      I rebooted pfsense.
                                      And magically both vlan interfaces on my pc obtained ip.
                                      Now it's doing vlaning properly.

                                        It should work fine if you connect the AP to a port on your switch that is properly configured for the vlan that you wish the wireless clients to be in.

                                          I think he's saying he's trying to use the AP as a switch. You would have to make the switch ports tagged ports on the AP for that to work.
