      Hello,

      I am beginner of PFSense appliance so please understand about my question.

      I'm having an issue to configure PFsense (plus, XG-1537) to make trunk port in order to connect Cisco L2 switch.

      Here is my goal:

      WAN--<Firepower>--<Core switch>--<PFSense firewall>--<Cisco L2 switch>--<Servers>

      35436de5-8b1e-4830-857a-c74e973ca8f0-image.png

      so PFsense firewall does NOT have WAN port, it only has LAN port + interface ports.

      • Core switch port has Trunk port.
      • PFSense LAN port + Interface ports are in 1 bridge.
      • LAN port + Interface ports knows all VLANs information.
      • Cisco L2 switch Port which is connected to PFsense has Trunk.
      • Server has VLAN 10 (Access port from Cisco L2 switch)

      #Problem:

      • When I connect Core switch - PFSense - Ubiquiti switch, Server network is fine. (Internet connection good)
      • However, When I connect Cisco L2 switch rather than Ubiquiti switch, Server network is 'No internet' state.

      Can you tell me which configuration that I missed?
