LAN interface details after move to VLAN on each port
-
Hello,
I have a question about details of the LAN interface (SG-3100) after creating vlans on all four of the LAN ports following the Netgate Integrated Switch hangout step through.My question is this. Originally the device was configured in a fairly vanilla configuration, WAN pointing at the isp and a /24 network on LAN with accompanying rules and services. What I've tested of the new vlans checks out fine, but with all 4 regular ports consumed by the vlans how should I leave the original LAN interface. Currently I've stopped dhcp on that interface and changed "IPv4 Configuration Type" to none. Is this suitable to continue with? I'm a little unclear on how the parent interface (mvneta1) is to be left. I'm this is a very fundamental question; I have been scouting around but haven't seen anything specifically answered my question yet,
Thank you,
Sean

Normally, you leave the native LAN running on the interface and just add whatever VLANs you need. For example, I have a guest WiFi. I created a VLAN on my main LAN that connects to the 2nd SSD on my AP. Regular LAN traffic still passes through that interface as before. -
@JKnott Thanks for the reply. I didn't provide much info in my original post. I have a couple of pics. The things is I expected that after creating these virtual interfaces and, associating them as in the tutorial, that the original LAN configuration would no longer be in play (which is what I want). It doesn't seem to be; I have a dhcp server on vlan1, port number 1, and it's successfully passing out addresses with the vlan1 network values. The original /24 network across all regular ports is no longer a factor, is it, or am I missing something.
Thanks,
Sean
