How to get 2 separate networks to talk to each other?

Yeah must be something left in the xml I would think... Or maybe the interface just didn't get delete.. But I have to assume you have rebooted at some point in troubleshooting this.

So I take it something must be messed up in the xml.

So validate its not in there in some messed up way.. If it is, remove it and then restore it. And then either delete the interface with cli, or reboot and make sure that igb1.70 interface is not there.

So I looked through the entire XML file line by line and also with search function using any combinations of igb1, igb1.70, 70, and igb. Igb1.70 or even vlan 70 does not exist in the XML file at all anywhere. I ran ifconfig and it does still indeed show up. Thoughts on maybe something I missed?
This is the only group of igb.X in the entire XML file.

did you look for the IP? Do a search. Search for interface igb1.70 as well..

If your saying its not in the xml, have you actually rebooted since you removed it - and it still comes back via ifconfig?

example - here is where the interface is created

		<opt5>
			<descr><![CDATA[W_PSK]]></descr>
			<if>igb2.4</if>
			<spoofmac></spoofmac>
			<enable></enable>
			<ipaddr>192.168.4.253</ipaddr>
			<subnet>24</subnet>

For 1 of my vlans... On your interface tab in pfsense - do you see the inteface still there? Even if you removed the vlan?

@johnpoz
Like this right?

johnpoz

So you don't see that that is listed on your ifconfig output anywhere in the xml? You searched for it? You searched for igb1.70 Not just scroll through?

And again - have you actually rebooted since you removed this vlan? And your not seeing that IP or interface anywhere in the xml?

@johnpoz
Yup not found anywhere even with search function. I'll be back for reboot...

@johnpoz
Very good! The halt and reboot removed 70 from ifconfig. I got to head out now and continue at a later time.

@johnpoz I plugged in my NAS and everything works just like before as expected. I also learned some new things along the way. Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate your patience with me.

Glad you got it sorted - was an odd one... The hard part is getting the info needed, you were very helpful in giving us the info requested.. Which many users it can be like pulling teeth ;)

Come on back if you have further questions!
