Port tagging on APU2?

@bingo600 Yes, Wifi clients. (sorry for delay - it's not letting me post more than once every 2 mins)
Just gave you 3 likes ... Think your (now) 5 , makes that limit go away

@bingo600 DNS from DHCP is 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 and I cannot ping 8.8.8.8 from the Guest SSID, but can from the untagged SSID
Take things one step at a time. Can you ping your VLAN interface by IP address, not host name? The WAN port? The ISP's gateway? If those work then your routing is set up correctly. If you then try something like google.com, and it works, then your DNS is OK. This is how you troubleshoot a problem. Otherwise, we have to guess and make suggestions.

I suppose JKnott is taking over here
He's repeating most of what i suggested -
No, just making sure he's not missing anything.
PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
UniFi AC-Lite access pointI haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
-
Since you don't get the pfSense box as DNS servers on your WiFi clients , you must have changed the default DHCP Server settings.
You haven't changed the DHCP Server Gateway option , have you ?
-
@bingo600 No -
And to follow your checklist, I can ping the VLAN gateway when on the VLAN SSID. I cannot get any further than that.
-
Did you try to remove/disable the LAN block rule on the Guest Vlan ?
Can you then ping the Lan IF , and/or a Lan device ?Something is fishy ....
Smells of missing or wrong def-gw.But if you havent touched Anything besides what you have posted in the
dhcp screenshot.PfSense should hand out the interface address as def-gw.And that you can ping.
Hey ...
That screenshot is not DHCP Server , that's the IF
You haven't set any upstream gw on the if ... have you
Dooh missed it was set to none -
@bingo600 I removed the custom DNS addresses from the DHCP server and that made no difference. What I am wondering is why the SG-1100 has a switch submenu in Interfaces to enable port tagging, and this APU2 does not. Might that be the crux of this?

I expected that , as your DNS servers are on the INET , and INET can't be reached.

Nope .. I'm running a Unifi on a pfSense wo. switch menu , and JKnott does the same (see further up).
Your tagging is working , since you get a Guest Ip address (in Vlan 20)
Post a picture of your DHCP Server settings for Guest
You don't have any group or floating rules , do you ?
-
@bingo600
Anything not shown is default -
Then something is fishy ....
Did you remove the Lan block rule , and tried to ping lan IF and maybe a lan device.
Edit:
Now that you have removed the 9.9.9.9 & 1.1.1.1 as DNS , can you resolve DNS now?
I mean what does ie. ping dns.google.com show ?
Does it resolve like here , where it resolves to 8.8.4.4
$ ping dns.google.com PING dns.google.com (8.8.4.4) 56(84) bytes of data. -
@bingo600 Yes. I can ping devices on both subnets from the guest subnet when that rule is disabled
-
-
@orangehand
Then def-gw ought to be set correct.Can you ping the WAN IF ?
How is your outbound NAT set ?
Do you have "Auto created XXX to wan" for all the interfaces ?
Especially look at Guest , if it's missing there
Maybe post a screenshot
-
Did you get this solved ?
-
@bingo600 No. Here is the Outbound NAT screenshot:

I need to go out to dinner now. Any further thoughts much appreciated!

On the Sg-1100 I set up yesterday there was a switch submenu in Interfaces where you added the tags. On my APU2 box there isn't a switch submenu so where do I do the tagging?
Just for anyone else wondering: SG1100, 2100, 3100 and 7100 have built in Switch chipsets! Those ports are actually switched internally that's why they have a special pfsense version from Netgate to include the config of said switch chip. You don't have that on any other hardware!
Other than that @JKnott and @bingo600 seem to have things under control, wouldn't want to intrude and confuse everyone :)
-
@JeGr Thanks for that! So in the absence of that switch config, how does one tag the lan interface so that VLAN traffic flows through it?
-
If you don't have a managed switch, you tag not only the LAN interface on pfsense, but also on every device you want to use the VLAN. This is easy enough to do with computers, but many other devices don't support VLANs.
These days, go with managed switches. They're cheap, but avoid TP-Link.
