802.1p/q pfsense setup
-
Just finished the guide from here (http://flyovercountry.org/2014/02/google-fiber-gigabit-speeds-your-router-part-1-vlans/) and just finished page 2 and the last step doesnt seem to be working for me.
My Operational Status is Down, my internet works but upload is only 10meg and my down is around 350meg which is very low from last nights test. Also my TVs are not working either, just get a black screen saying channel not available.
Anyways just trying to figure out why my status for g2 is down.
EDIT:
So I re-read the guide and somehow I missed the VLAN tag for IGMP under the QOS Class configuration. So I added VLAN2, and checked the status and now says UP.
Problem now is im getting only 40down and .4up, its gotten worse.Any ideas?
EDIT 2:
Missed the IGMP Setting for the same Class Sections, I must of hit cancel and not apply. Anyways the internet is workign great! However my TV is not.I'm getting a black screen with a red text saying Channel Not Available.
Any ideas on the TV side of things?
EDIT 3:
Followed this guide to get TV working - http://flyovercountry.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/GoogleFiberRouterGuide.pdf however only lower channels work.1-97 come in just fine, 98 and above do not show up. Is there another subnet thats used thats not listed in the guide?
EDIT 4:
I've got everything working! I've created some documentation on the process of getting everything working. Links Below:Bypass the Network Box - Part 1:

Does anyone have this working with only pfSense. I've got 4 Gb ports on the pfSense box but not a good switch. If someone does can you point me in the right direction on the WAN setup. LAN is working fine but I cannot get out to the internet so I'm missing something on the VLAN setup I'm guessing if this is even possible directly via pfSense. I will post setup of pfSense later work has successfully blocked teamviewer some how.

I just got Google Fiber installed today and had a Netgear GS108T lined up for tagging and priority assignment. While the netgear worked just fine, I was able to get internet working natively within pFsense without the Netgear switch. I think in pFsense 2.3 they added some options and potentially fixed some issues with 802.1p compared to before. Here's what I did. (I do not have TV service so I can't comment there)
Step 1.
Interfaces -> Assign
VLANS
+Add
Parent Interface - WAN
VLAN Tag - 2
VLAN Priority - 3
Description - Google Fiber VLAN
SaveIt should look like this. (Where em1 is your WAN interface)
Step 2.
Interfaces -> Assign
Interface Assignments
WAN - Google Fiber VLAN
SaveIt should look like this.
And that's it. My internet started working at full speed both up and down!

I also had to disable the IPv6 config on pfsense to fix some issues on my android phone when using WiFi. I had problems downloading/updating apps in the play store, watching youtube videos in the youtube app (they would work fine from chrome), downloading pictures in SMS, and accessing printers in google cloud print. There is probably a way to actually fix it, but for now disabling IPv6 resolved my issues.
Step 3.
Interfaces -> LAN
IPv6 Configuration Type - None
Save -
So I've followed all the steps, i get an IP address, i'm able to ping out and have internet.
The only issues I've ran across is the gateway constantly shows 90-100% packet loss and offline (even tho its working without issues). I am trying to do fail-over, however with the gateway showing packet loss and offline the fail-over will not work.
I dont have the TV service, is there something that i'm missing? Is anyone else having this issue?
-
My gateway shows 0% packet loss and online.

I had to end up changing the ICMP packet from 0 to 1 and that took care of it.
Odd that yours works without that. -

I registered to this forum for the singular and explicit purpose of posting this message. THANK YOU!
My Google searches kept sending me into the guts of using ALTQ (A.K.A. "Traffic Shaping") to do this. I didn't think that the QoS priority could be set in the VLAN config page. Plus, ALL the other tutorials and examples used a managed switch (like your first attempt) for the sole purpose of adjusting Ethernet frame headers. That felt wrong. I'm glad you posted this. I updated my configs, and Google Fiber is sailing at full symmetrical bandwidth.
Now: If we could just get Google searching to hit this forum a little better, I wouldn't have spent 10 hours messing around with traffic shaping just to set an outgoing QoS field in my frames.

I followed the guide by ITNUTT, flyovercountry and atlantisman. I am using their recommended Netgear switch and pfsense on a super micro configuration found elsewhere on this board. The internet works fine with speeds of 914/930. The TV channels all come in but all freeze after a couple of minutes. Changing channels gets it going again. I have 3 TV boxes. I worked with Google support for an hour today trying to narrow it down. Ultimately I hooked the Google network box back up and the TV worked fine. The closest we could come was bad setup on my end which they don't support or poor signal to the boxes (which may be true however it does work with the existing Google network box). If anyone has similar experience or solutions please post.

Hi folks,
Wondering if anyone is using Cisco SMB switch for the QoS setup for the Google fiber. If so, it would be much appreciated if the setup/configuration can be shared.
