Trunking VLANs on interfaces
-
I must say that I usually don't feed the trolls but… If you know what and how to do it, why the hell are you asking for help?
-
But my God, trunking multiple vlans on a single interface from a router to switch is verboten to Hero Members, we dare not talk about that…
Nope. We all do exactly that. All over the place. Everywhere. Every day. No days off.
If that is what you are trying to do, your descriptions do not match the project requirements.
-
Yes tagging your vlans to isolate them when they have to run over the same wire is exactly the correct way to do it… The whole point of 802.1q or any of the other older protocols VTP, ISL, DTP... MVRP, GRVP etc. etc.. etc..
There are whole standards and protocols on how to keep your layer 2 isolated from other layer 2 when they run over the same wire..
Thought you said you been doing this for 40 years?
-
See. We all use VLAN tags to our Layer 2. That is what they are for.
What you do NOT see here is VLAN 10 on three different interfaces because that is just, well, horrible design, and, in that case, everything on VLAN10 will not be in the same broadcast domain so the stated goals I have (possibly incorrectly) deciphered will not work.
Tag VLAN 10 to your switching infrastructure ONCE. Use the switching infrastructure to create/propagate that broadcast domain to the switches that require it.

First I want to say thanks everyone for a more civil tone in your recent responses.
Hugovsky: Who are you referring to as trolls? Did you read this complete thread from the OP? Did you miss the part regarding me not knowing how to do it in pfSense? I know how to do it on Cisco switches but did not know how to do it in pfSense. After 3 days of trying every configuration I could think of I finally started to see the results I needed sometime between 00:00 and 03:00 today. Because there is no way to do it complete in pfSense's GUI. For one thing it requires a custom startup script for bridge configuration.
Derelict: Thanks, I didn't think I was doing something that outlandish. Yes that's all I was trying to accomplish, trunking a tagged VLAN to two other subnets/VLANs/segments that are untagged. In order for the Cisco managed switches with addresses on subnet 10 VLAN10 on subnet 20 VLAN20 and subnet 30 VLAN30 to be reachable for administration purpose. I apologize if I did not express that clearly enough.
johnpoz: Yes that's all I was trying to do was 1q tagging. Been doing computer mainframe management starting out in the IBM and DEC days for approaching 40 years. And all the ancillary things like database management before DBA's were a hot item. And networking Ethernet wise in the era of the thick coaxial backbone and thinnet days. Before the proliferation of routers and switches and CAT anything. Networking has never been my forte after that, I know enough to do what I need and learn it if I don't and more then ever be dangerous. I ask questions and I listen. Except to it can't be done. I will find a way.
Derelict: Once again that is your opinion. As with everything there are many ways to do things. I learned a long time ago my way is not the right way, it is only one way to do something. When you say it's bad and others say it's acceptable, who is right? (That's a rhetorical question.)
-
Bullshit. You are wrong. ONE layer 3 interface to VLAN 10. Period. It is up to your layer 2 to get where that needs to go. This is not opinion. This is fact.
if that is not the case then you actually have three different broadcast domains on three different layer 2s all tagged with vlan 10 and they cannot communicate with each other unless you do something retarded like bridge all those vlans on the different interfaces together at the firewall. Yes, "retarded."
-
So much for civilities. That didn't last long…
Here is my working config. Is it really breaking any rules and not just opinions?

Yeah. You had to bridge. That is just plain stupid compared to simply tagging that across the switching infrastructure.
But congratulations. You made a stupid design work.
-
You are entitled to your opinion. Is everything in the world you don't agree with just plain stupid too?
-
No, just idiotic network design.
