      Yeah that looks fine.. Is that the only rule you have on the wifi vlan?

      So your saying your devices on this vlan 100 are not getting an IP from pfsense?

      Then yeah you have a problem with the switch config, or connectivity.  So is your lan, or vlan 1 working??  How are you accessing the pfsense gui?

      Lan is working fine on vlan 1…I have one vlan for now until I can get it working, vlan 100 wifi.
      If I plug into any ports on the switch it all works except for port 10 connected to vlan 100.
      On vlan 1 I have no problems getting ip from dhcp 192.168.1.x
      On vlan 100 I cannot get an ip from dhcp 192.168.2.x

            Correct me if I'm wrong but you only appear to have VLAN100 tagged on one port?

              Yes…do I need more ports?
              I did try that and it didn't work

                You need VLAN100 tagged on the port that connects to your WiFi AND the port that connects back to pfSense. VLAN1 should remain untagged but active on all ports. Your AP also needs to be VLAN aware, what one are you using?

                  Sorry really green at this…vlan 100 to tagged to port 10 and port that connects to pfsense is port 3.
                  If you can help me with the commands I would appreciate it, see below, show run command...thx

                  interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3
                  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
                  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,100,1001-1005
                  switchport mode trunk
                  !
                  interface GigabitEthernet1/0/4

                    ok so port 10 is in vlan 100

                    Can you do a show interfaces trunk

                    Or how about
                    sho int switchport G1/0/3

                    That is the port you have in trunk mode to pfsense right..

                    I would remove this from your port 3
                    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

                    conf t
                    int gi1/0/3
                    no switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

                    Then show the commands of the ones I gave above.

                    Then once you have a device that you connect to on port 10, we can worry about connecting a AP on another trunk port that does vlans, etc.

                      I wouldn't have a clue about commands, my switch has a Web GUI  8)

                      But if pfSense is on port 3 then that also needs tagged to VLAN100

                          We already went over what needs to be tagged where.. Yes completely agree with you

                          Port to pfsense needs vlan 100 tagged.. And then any uplinks to any AP that would be doing vlan 100 on SSID also tagged, etc.

                          But he can not seem to get vlan 100 to work..

                            Have we established that his AP is VLAN aware? and set up to use VLAN100?

                              AP is vlan aware it's a Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC-Pro AP…but if I plug my laptop in that port I can't get and ip

                                He is not doing that yet - he is just connecting a device to is vlan port 10.. And its not getting an IP from pfsense, or can not talk to pfsense.  If he can not get a simple access port to work.. Then what is the point of moving to AP?

                                on your pfsense box can you do a ifconfig and post the output so we can see that your nic actually supports vlan tagging..

                                    Your laptop won't work on port 10 because it's not a member of VLAN1 and I'm guessing the laptop isn't VLAN aware.

                                        According to the listing back on the first page, his port 10 is not a member of the native VLAN (VLAN1), it is only a member of VLAN100, if this is a tagged port then the laptop won't see it.

                                            pfSense(to switch) vLAN(100);
                                            switch upload(to pfSense) Tagged(100) for port(AP) /Trunk;

                                            AP no vLAN.

                                            Sorry not sure I understood all that.
                                            Is there someone with any other ideas…maybe someone with the same switch?
