      Herman,

      did you configure VLAN10 on any other port of the 1810G switch apart from port 12?
      The VLAN10 traffic has to enter the switch somehow. Usually you configure a trunk-port in the switch and in pfSense and interconnect those two.

      May I suggest you read about VLANs and Trunking a bit
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/vlan/index.html
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/interfaces/vlan-trunking.html

      I have no idea how VLANs are handled in Hyper-V.

        Hi jahonix,

        Port 1 of the HP switch is connected to the Virtual Hyper-V LAN port of the pfSense. I've configured port 1 as a static trunk port on the switch. Makes no difference. I read also a lot about trunking ports. Thank you for providing even more info. will be appreciated.

        I have a strong feeling that I have to look in the Hyper-V switch corner, like Steve Scotter mentioned. But I am not sure. So I have to play around with that some more.

        Regards,

          Hi Steve-scotter,

          Thanks for your reply. I was thinking in that direction as well. The pfSense LAN and WAN port are Hyper-V switches connected to a physical NIC on the Hyper-V (Server 2016) host. De server has two physical nic's on board en a 4 port Intel server NIC interface card. So in total the server has 6 physical nic's on board. In another post I've read some info about some power shell command regarding the Hyper-V nics.

          Kind regards,
          Herman

            Hello,

            This is the thread I found regarding some powershell commands were @bobtheninja talks about. Does this make sense?

            https://forum.netgate.com/topic/81161/pfsense-hyper-v-vlans/3

            Any help appreciated

              Hi Folks,

              I tried the following command. Somehow something went wrong.

              This is the solution @bobtheninja provides. Any ideas?

                I just went over this recently... Let me dig up the thread..

                But yes you have to set trunk mode with powershell - not sure why messing with mac addresses? That thread is 2 years old..

                  Hi @johnpoz,

                  Wow. That is a lot of information. I have to dig in there. You were right. I messed up things. Messing around with the mac address was indeed no good idea!!! Now I have to wait till I am home because my whole config isn't accessible anymore :-(

                  I have to figure out the exact power shell command to do your trick. I have 2 nic's in de pfsense vm. A LAN and WAN. So I presume that I only have to alter the LAN vlan settings right?

                  For now I am not able to connect to the network anymore! :-( I hope I can reverse the settings i've made...

                    Hello Johnpoz,

                    I am back in business again. Was able to reverse my mes sup with the MAC address.

                    Let me show you what i Have done. That is after the restore :-)

                    Above you see the 2 virtual network adapters connected to my pfSense. one of them is the LAN and the other would be the WAN. cannot see that here. I think that is the reason why @bobtheninja was using the MAC address part???

                    Next I executed the following command.

                    0_1551983827785_bb363548-697a-457f-80b8-46bfefc12ce3-image.png

                    After that evrything stops working. When setting the mode back to Untagged everything is working again.

                    My HP 1810 switch is configured this way;

                    Port 1 on the switch that is connected to the pfSense LAN interface is configured as a Trunk port

                        You sure hp uses trunk in the same same with as cisco? WTF is static mode? Where are you tagging specific vlans?

                          Yes, there is a difference between HP and Cisco:

                                  When I read the document Pipin provided HP uses tagged ports to carry multiple vlans.

                                  Under mode there are the multiple option;

                                      I have the feeling you are not a really big fan of HP switches 😉

                                      You are tending more to Cisco? Is Unify also a good product?

                                        Not that not a fan of them... Just much more experience with Cisco, and the few times I have had to deal with HP.. Not impressed with them compared to the cisco use to working with.

                                        For the price of unifi - you could get a pretty much full featured L3 switch from cisco small business line. The sg300 or sg350 line.. I just saw a sg350-28 on amazon for $179.. Its feature set far exceeds the same sort of price point from unifi.
