Ping within same vlan two hops?? (Now it's ->Destination Host Unreachable) HELP!
-
Sorry but pfsense has ZERO to do with your wireless clients talking to each other when connected to same AP. Pfsense doesn't even need to be connected for clients of an AP to talk to each other.. Nor does your switch.. Other than getting dhcp, a gateway or using dns the rest of your network has zero to do with 2 clients connected to the same AP talking to each other.
Client A pinging B connected to the same wifi with IPs that are in the same network has zero to do with the rest of your network in the drawing. you sure you didn't mess up and 1 client is vlan 10 and the other is in vlan 12?

Yea, probably I should try reboot the AP, I didn't do that after migrated the vlan to new interface.
I'll try reboot, see how it goes, also the inter-vlan smb transfer speed is slow as well :-\ -
[Solved]
After changing of settings, vlan, interface etc.
Reboot Switch, pfsense, AP.For ping issue, turn off "Client ARP Caching" in AP, so that ARP request will not be blocked by AP thus passed on to switch/pfsense etc. then ping will work

" AP thus passed on to switch/pfsense etc. then ping will work"
Huh.. Sorry that is not how it works..
Its not forwarding on to your switch/pfsense
Your talking a Cisco AP right??
When ARP caching is disabled, the access point forwards all ARP requests through the radio port to associated clients, and the client to which the ARP request is directed responds. When ARP caching is enabled, the access point responds to ARP requests for associated clients and does not forward requests to clients. When the access point receives an ARP request for an IP address not in the cache, the access point drops the request and does not forward it.

Yep, your quote is right.
Here's a more visual way to interpret ENABLED/DISABLED/OPTIONAL
http://www.my80211.com/cisco-auton-cli-commands/2010/3/12/autonomous-understanding-cisco-ap-arp-caching-disabled-enabl.htmlAnd I suspect it's this part "When ARP caching is enabled, the access point responds to ARP requests for associated clients and does not forward requests to clients. When the access point receives an ARP request for an IP address not in the cache, the access point drops the request and does not forward it." was causing the trouble.
Don't know why there was no problem at all before migrating the vlan. :o Any ideas?
-
Your clients changed IP? Cache was wrong.. your AP should be able to cache and work just fine..

Um, it's weird, those two are both assigned with static IP from DHCP/pfsense, and "ARP Table Static Entry" ticked

Do you know why when copying file from one lan to another vlan (two separate physical nic) speed is around 5-16MB/s
But copying from lan to vlan (same single one nic) speed is around 26MB/sI can't figure out why…. :'(
-
Is this wifi or wired?
26MB is like watching paint dry for any sort of local copy.. So I take it this is wireless?
If anything your hairpin should be slower then when using 2 different nics.. But what other traffic is flowing at time of copy on these nics?

Yep, both situation is server on 1Gbps cable, client on 300Mbps wifi.
For cable to cable it will be better.
I can accept 26Mbps when on wifi, but 5 - 16Mbps is definitely too slow :oI mean, for both conditions, gateway is involved, only difference is the first one is on same nic/port, second one involves two nic/ports.
But all of them are 1Gbps, and I don't see high CPU usage or high memory usage :-\ :-\
