      Hello all,
      I just replaced my previous pfSense install (also single nic, but no vlans) and I am no longer able to ping the LAN side or use the GUI.

      My setup is:
      pfSense VM on ESXi - it is connected to a port group configured as "trunk"
      pfSense has a single NIC (vmx0) and I configured it like this:
      vmx0 (wan) - default untagged vlan - gets dhcp from the correct server in vlan 1
      vmx0.10 (lan) - this should be tagged vlan 10? - gets dhcp from the correct dhcp server in vlan 10

      However: I cant ping or reach the vlan10 ip.
      The GUI is only listening on the wan interface and does respond to ping.

      Am I doing something wrong/am I forgetting a step?

        @perphide Something strange just happend. I disabled IPv6 and all of a sudden I can ping the IPv4 address of the vmx0.10 interface.

        I am sure this has nothing to do with IPv6 being disabled. I have no clue what just changed. Perhaps another pending setting has been applied by this action?
