    First, configure mvneta1 interface with an IP address in a MGMT network that you choose (not vlan). And use this same network in the switch and AP for management purposes.

    Checking your screenshots, everything seems to be correct at the pfSense side.
    Check your netgear, make sure the MGMT network is correct (untagged) and in the same network as mvneta1 in pfsense, check if this same port is configured to receive vlan20 and vlan30 tagged, and the downlink has the same configuration.

    The port connecting pfSense to Netgear switch should be like this:
    VLAN 1 Untagged (MGMT of the switch)
    VLAN 20 Tagged
    VLAN 30 Tagged

    Netgear Switch to AP:
    VLAN 1 Untagged (MGMT of the AP)
    VLAN 20 Tagged
    VLAN 30 tagged

    Then, assign the wifi networks to use VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 respectively.

    That is what I do as well, some interfaces run multiple vlans. Others have only single interface. My high volume vlans have their own uplink. Other vlans like my wireless ones share an interface. Wireless clients not going to be able to use a full gig interface anyway - not a single device for sure.. Maybe as you move to AX.. But until that time with wifi 5, not really possible for a wireless client to use full gig. So yeah they can share an interface, and rare that any wifi vlan would ever talk to another wifi vlan, etc.

    This is what is nice about having multiple interfaces on your router. One of the reasons went with the 4860... Lots of discrete interfaces, gives you more options. I don't really have any use for switch ports in my router ;) That is why I have switches... heheh

    Now what I would love to see, would be a netgate box that has multigig interfaces - support for 802.3bz.. Love to have interfaces that can do 10/100/1000/2.5/5/10ge

    Multigig switch ports be great.. This could allow for say future connection of AX APs that support say 2.5ge uplink into the router, when you don't actually have a muligig switch, etc.

    @charles_moody said in Trunk/LAGG problem / pfSense UniFi 24-250W PoE Switch and VLANs:

    Can anyone tell me how to get the switch to adopt

    So this is crux of your issue?

    That has nothing to do with pfsense.. Your controller and switch need to be on the same L2 network for adoption... Or you need to use L3 adoption.. This has everything to do with unifi, and not related to pfsense at all.

    https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/204909754-UniFi-Device-Adoption-Methods-for-Remote-UniFi-Controllers

    behind that about 10 smart-managed Netgear switches

    This seems nuts - are they all in closets somewhere.. How big is this house? If you were running cable - why would all your cables not just home run back to your core switching area? Curious where exactly all these switches are?

    want LAN just for troubleshooting and because it’s often stated that LAN will strip of the VLAN tags from the traffic

    Huh? You can run vlans on lan just like any other interface.. So not sure what your thinking with this statement... Sure you can use lan interface as your management interface.. But it can run vlans on it as well if you want.

    Create a LAGG on pfsense and on the switch stack. Use the LAGG as the vlan parent.

    @dbinoj I'll try that as soon as I get home. Thanks :)

    The copy jobs will be between nas to vsphere and external. Probably it will be smb3, i did not decide yet.
    After removing the whole lagg config on pfsense and switch it works!

    I can work with that but i'm still interested why it did not work with lag...
