      This is likely related to MAC spoofing - read about that and promiscuous mode at https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Interface_Settings
      Have you specified the MAC address for either the "real" interface or the VLAN interface?

        I will try setting the promiscuous mode permanently through the link you provided.

        I have however not done any configuration on the MAC address side at all.

        Thanks,

          It should not be necessary to set promiscuous mode, but it would be interesting to know if that makes it work. Then search for the real reason why it is needed.

            I just tried this and could not duplicate it…

            Tagged switchport for 1311 to SG-1000 LAN (cpsw1).

            Client on untagged 1311 port on switch working fine.

              I set the interface to promiscuous mode and it has been working fine for a few hours now.

              The configuration that is working with promisc turned on is attached. I am not sure why but as soon as I turn promisc off it stops working.

              Thanks,

                My snapshot might not be current enough to see what you're seeing.

                  I'm on the latest snapshot and even did a full flash with an SD card. If you have a chance let me know if you see the same thing with the latest version.

                    @JimP has logged an issue with this https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7645 at priority "Very High". So it is recognised as a problem that appears to be a recent regression.

                      Thanks, I'll follow that bug report, and I can test any fixes if needed.

                        Glad I found this thread.  I am having the same issue.  Promiscuous mode fixed the issue for now.  Thanks for the info!

                          This is fixed on current snapshots. Actually the last few. I have updated the one I have with a VLAN for WAN a couple days in a row without any problems.

                            Hi jimp - thanks for the update!

                            Would you suggest updating pfSense prior to disabling promiscuous mode on the interface with VLANs or vise-versa?

                            To confirm, disabling promiscuous mode is:

                            /sbin/ifconfig cpsw0 -promisc

                              Just update, don't touch promisc manually. That will go away when the device reboots anyhow.

                                  I seem to be seeing this problem, previous releases had been fine. Anyone else experiencing issues with the latest build ?

                                    We're aware, a fix is coming shortly.
