Set up mixed IPv4 and IPv6 traffic?
-
Think of VLANs as though they were physically separate. If you can do something with plain switches and APs, you can do it with a VLAN. What VLANs allow you to do is run those logically separate networks over one physical network and then separate the traffic. For example, in offices, VoIP phones and computers often share the same connection, with the phone on a VLAN. This allows the phones to have priority over the computer data, as VLANs enable priority through switches, etc.. Another example is guest WiFi, so you can use the same APs, but keep then separate from the main LAN traffic. I have that here.
Bear in mind the VLANs must be configured on pfsense, switches and APs and the VLAN ID must match on each device.

Right. I already have the vlans configured and running on all equipment. I am just confirming that nothing will need to be adjusted to accommodate IPV6 traffic on those vlans (except for at the pfSense end of things). -
Yep.

So much easier than I would have thought. Thanks! -
One thing to bear in mind is that each interface has to use a different prefix ID. With a /56 from Rogers, your choices are 0 to ff. You also have to specify you want a /56, though you could get a smaller one if you want.

@jknott Good to know. I appreciate all your help so far. Once (if) I decide to proceed with this, I might have to come back to get more assistance...
