basic VLANS - Noob
-
@chrischambers I have just check my firewall and this is turn off.
I also just check that the port is working the LAN range and this works, with no issues.
it is just something with VLAN 20 that is missingjust found the old video I used to create my vlans minus the blocking of extra vlans

Port 1 from your drawing is connected to pfsense... What is the profile you have assigned to port 1 on your switch..
Port 15.. What you showed is WRONG... The only vlan on that should be native vlan 20.. nothing tagged, no other vlans

Port 1
on port 1 as shown in my drawn the profile is " All "
on port 15 the only profile on is "Test 20 "
with the following settings

forget this I was trying something. it is now deleted.

Ok if you have your vlans setup correctly on your switch.. And your pc on vlan 20 interface on your switch gets an IP from dhcp on pfsense for vlan 20..
And it has internet I take it?
But you can not ping it from lan?
What are the rules on lan? Your not policy routing traffic out some vpn are you?
Post up rules on lan and vlan 20 interfaces on pfsense.

Ok if you have your vlans setup correctly on your switch.. And your pc on vlan 20 interface on your switch gets an IP from dhcp on pfsense for vlan 20.. -- Yes I do
And it has internet I take it? -- not at the moment as I have no rules for outbound
But you can not ping it from lan? -- That is right
What are the rules on lan? Your not policy routing traffic out some vpn are you? -- yes I do have a VPN
Post up rules on lan and vlan 20 interfaces on pfsense.WAN
LAN

Ok your forcing traffic out your gateway that 1.9 IP to plextv? Not sure what is the point of that?
That is wan and lan - where is vlan 20?
As long as your not coming from 1.9 and going to whatever is in that alias for plextv - you would be able to go to your vlan 20 via your lan net source any any rule.
So makes no difference what rules you have on vlan 20. lan should be able to ping anything on vlan20
So again sniff on vlan 20 interface while your pinging from lan - do you see the ping go out.. If so then problem is not pfsense..
Are you sending everything out some vpn.. I don't understand why your trying to policy route traffic out your wan gateway? Unless you have everything else going out some vpn?

VLAN 20
I have a plex server sitting behind the PFsense, and looking at videos it informed me that I needed to added that rule.
is sniff the pinging within pfsense ?

Sorry but NO.. How does that make any sense? Again are you using some vpn service?? Inbound traffic to your plex, would go back out your wan.. As to plex going somewhere on its own to pull metadata, etc. - why would that not work via a vpn connection. If that is what your using.
What do you have in plextv alias exactly
Yes go to diagnostic - packet capture.

@johnpoz
here are two of the links I used to set that up
https://blog.linuxserver.io/2017/05/01/how-to-run-pfsense-with-pia-vpn-but-still-use-plex-remote-access/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwwczlvWw9Y
sorry have to run, have to cook dinner for the wife. I will return tomorrow - thanks for your help so far.
-
Ok if plex is just contacting plex.tv to get its public IP.. Then yeah you would want to make sure it goes out your normal wan..
As long this IP is showing your actual normal wan IP from your isp then yeah that should be fine.
-
@johnpoz Hi John, the plex works with no issues, it is just the vlans
here are the ping results from PFsense
-
@chrischambers morning. I think i have it all working, I don't know why but for some reason it just started to work.
@johnpoz many thanks for your help yesterday.
-
Those ping results is not what I asked for... I asked for you to sniff on your vlan 20 interface while you pinged vlan 20 from lan.. How is pinging ip in vlan 20 and lan IP from pfsense that?
-
@johnpoz said in basic VLANS - Noob:
la
sorry @johnpoz but please see above I did ask what is Sniff as I have never hear of it. but once again thanks for your help
-
Under diagnostic menu.. Packet Capture. This allows you to see like the raw data that interface sees..
Here this might help in what packet capture (sniff) is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_analyzer
edit: example
Here is a sniff (packet capture) on my dmz interface (192.168.3.253) while pinging an IP in my dmz network, from my lan network 192.168.1000
Now you can view more info by changing the verbosity level in that screen. Or you could just download the capture into your own software.. Wireshark for example (free)..
And get all kinds of great info on what is actually going on.. For troubleshooting stuff
In your specific scenario - you would of been able to see if pfsense was actually sending on the ping request, but not getting an answer, etc.
