XG-7100 1U VLAN setup

[mmarco]

Hi, I am fairly new to pfsense, and I have new XG-7100 1U device that I am trying to setup.

I am experiencing problems with the vlan setup on the device. What I am trying is fairly simple:

• create new vlan tag 10, and pfsense interface on it
• assign address to interface
• ping address from connected MikroTik router

This is basic test setup:
[XG-71001U]eth2 -- [MikroTikRB]-- [PC]

MikroTik and PC are setup with VLAN-10 and they can ping each other. MikroTik is bridging VLAN-10 properly (tested by switching cables).

These are the things I did so far:

• Factory reset of XG-7100, assign ip address to it
• Interfaces / Switch / VLANs (XG-7100 1U specific as I understand)
  • create new VLAN 10 and assign eth2 tagged to it
• Interfaces / VLANs
  • create new VLAN Tag 10 on parent lagg0
• Interfaces / Interface Assignments
  • Assign to OPT1 "VLAN 10 on lagg0"
• Firewall / Rules / OPT1
  • add allow all for all rule (for testing)
• Interfaces / OPT1 (lagg0.10)
  • assign static IP address to interface

After these actions I would expect that I can ping the address (I have Mikrotik switch with IP on VLAN 10 and PC with VLAN 10 on the same VLAN and they can ping each other). Also I tried to swap cables and in all combinations everything seems to be working consistent except for XG-7100.

As mentioned I am not very experienced with the pfSense , so I could have been missing something. Any suggestions what could it be?

And to answer my own question, for some other poor soul that might search the forum for help. I forgot to add tagged switch ports 9 and 10 as described in documentation. So my tagged traffic was arriving to switch and staying on the switch never reaching the netgate core device.

Once I added ports 9 and 10 tagged in vlan config, everything worked
