      Do you not have a Switch config page in Interfaces either? I think I'm facing the same issue on an APU2 box where I cannot work out how to add the vlan tag to the LAN interface

          Interfaces > Assignments - Add the VLAN to the physical interface
          Interfaces > Assignments - Create the interface using the select list at the bottom
          Edit the interface, enable it, number it
          Put the desired firewall rules on the new interface
          Enable DHCP servers, etc.
          If you have (for some reason) enabled Manual Outbound NAT, add rules for the new interface's source addresses.

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

              OK?

              You should see the VLAN in the Available network ports at the bottom like I described. Select it and hit add.

                  Then you haven't added the VLAN to the interface. Use the VLANs tab at the top of that page.

                      If you want to use VLAN 20 on the GuestNet interface you have already done that. Click on GuestNet, enable it, number it, add rules, DHCP servers, etc.

                      Whatever is connected to igb1 will need to be expecting traffic tagged with VLAN 20.

                      Tagged traffic will be on GuestNet. Untagged traffic will be on LAN.

                        Dual topic ... See here
                        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/158698/port-tagging-on-apu2

                        I think it must be outbound nat , or something really weird.

                        Edit: He gets a Vlan20 (Guest ip) on his wifi guest.

                        He can (via Guest WiFi) ping Guest IF , he can ping devices on his Lan (def-gw works)
                        He cant ping 8.8.8.8 , or anything on INET

                          @Derelict - It worked as expected on the Macbook (must be config issue on my Linux laptop). Thanks.
