      Hi all. I am having a very frustrating week at work. Can someone help with my dilema?

      I have a HPE DL20 running Server 2019 Core with HyperV installed. The server has the following NIC configuration:

      1 x 10GbE: Connected to a Netgear Smart Switch. Trunk with VLans 10,30 Native VLan 1.
      1 x 1GbE: Internet Connection.

      I have PFSense Installed in HyperV VM. VSwitch to both NIC's. The 10GbE vSwitch has been setup as a Trunk with Allowed VLan's 10, 30 Native VLan 1.

      VLan 30 works perfectly and is setup in PFSense as the LAN. I can't get VLan 10 to communicate with anything at all. The trunk link on the switch is correctly configured, and I can communicate with every device on VLan 10 on the switch.

      I have been reading that some people prefer to have separate vSwitch for VLan, and let HyperV tag the packets. I would prefer PFSense does the VLan tagging.

      I have googled everything and the link below is similar to how I have my setup:

      Has anyone else had this issue?

      Thank you for your help in advance.italicised text

        I dont know if it can help you...

        it was difficult to find on internet cause everybody say just set VLANS on pfsense after set on Switch... but nobody told us to set Hyper V when we are talking about VLANs on Hyper V
