      Hello everyone,

      I'm coming for a basic issue I think, but I can't find the problem.
      Here are my interfaces :
      0_1531061639014_Screenshot_36.png
      0_1531061680596_Screenshot_37.png

      Here the configuration of this VLAN :
      0_1531061694303_Screenshot_38.png

      And here the firewall rules :
      0_1531061727077_Screenshot_39.png

      My LAN can access internet.

      So before configuring multiple vlan I first tried with one. I plugged my computer directly on em3, which is supposed to be my vlan server. The IP address of this computer is static : 192.168.10.2/24 - GW 192.168.10.1. I can't ping anything, And I don't understand why, I'm missing something obvious...

      If I create a network on em3, with exactly same parameters, it works perfectly why I can't make it work with vlan ?

      Any help is welcome
      Thanks !

          If You are connecting your test PC directly to the pfsense, You need to tag the traffic on the test PC, with a vlan-10 tag. If You have a switch in-between, you need to make sure your port(facing the test PC) is member of VLAN 10 and it's configured as "un-tagged", which means that all packets coming in/out will be always part of vlan 10.

          That's about it.

            em3 ( on my pf sense) -> plugged to port 1 of the switch in trunk mode.
            port 2 of the switch is plugged on the computer in access mode vlan 10.

              Then it would be working.

              Be sure VLAN 10 is tagged on the switch port connected to pfSense em3.

              Be sure the switchport connected to the PC is untagged on VLAN 10.

              It's pretty much that simple.

              Note the firewall rule in the image you posted has 0B received. That indicates it is receiving no traffic.

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

                I also think something could be wrong with the trunk link between your pfSense box and your switch. Try to make packet captures from pfSense (or even from the switch) to see if the traffic is reaching the firewall and if it's correctly tagged.

                  This is my switch config, very basic, it should work with this ...I don't see the problem...

                    Neither do I.

                    But if it was that simple it would be working. You are missing something.

                    Post the output of Diagnostics > Command Prompt Execute ifconfig -a

                    Are you 100% positive that with that switch port config it will pass all vlans?

                    switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10 or something?

                      Why are you running 2.3.5 if you are amd64?

                      All of this works in both but why?

                        I enabled em3 only for testing, I know I shouldn't use a logical interface here

                          Yeah that is all kinds of hosed up.

                          You have two interfaces (em0 and em1) with 192.168.0.254 assigned. You have two entries for em1. em3 looks reasonable but idk wtf you have going on there.

                                  OK so any interface assigned to VLAN 10 on em3 will be tagged there.

                                  If that is not working it is your switch. Or, in your case, maybe GNS3.

                                      I confirm that it's not pfsense, but my cisco config, I need to make some research as I'm not a cisco expert but clearly pfsense is working correctly, thanks for your time guys ! :)
