      I just tried creating VLAN 0 on an interface, but it wasn't allowed. VLAN 0 is valid and used to provide the CoS priority bits, without a separate VLAN. Why isn't it supported?

          Then I was just discussing it. I hadn't actually tried it on pfsense. Today, I thought I would, given I have so much time on my hands with the pandemic. I run openSUSE Linux on my network and it supports VLAN 0. In fact, it's what pops up when you create a VLAN. In my previous experiment with VLANs, I was using VLAN 5, which pfsense supports. I also have VLAN 3 for my guest WiFi.

          BTW, I just came across this. In reading it, I get the impression someone doesn't understand what VLAN 0 is for. The "reserved" purpose is for putting the CoS bits on a frame, without having a separate VLAN. That is a VLAN 0 frame should be treated identically to a native frame, other than CoS.
