      Hello,
      I have a 7100 1U and I have a problem.
      Between what is shown in the 7100 documentation and what appears in my web interface is different, is this normal?
      In your manual, it is specified that in Interfaces/Switch/System, there is a Lagg tab

      mine has none

      Another problem, I have an interface with DHCP service which is linked to lagg0.4091. Port 2 of the internal switch is configured to work with this interface but when I connect a laptop as a DHCP client, it does not receive an IP address.

      I hope you can help me.

      Have a good day.

        The documentation needs to be updated. That LAGG screenshot is from an earlier pfSense version. The switch LAGG config is now shows as a column on the Ports tab like you see. That's not a problem.

        You have the switch configured correctly. Ports 2-8 should be available as part of LAN.

        How is the LAN interface configured? Is the DHCP server configured and running correctly?

        Steve

          Hello and thank you for your reactivity.
          I took note for the outdated documentation.
          I completely redid the configuration and here are the screenshots below.

          In the VLANs tab, VLAN group 0 refuses that I remove port 8, is this normal?

          the interface exists and is bound to vlan 4091 on Lagg0

          same result, port 2 does not retrieve an IP address

            @philippe-richard What about the Firewall rules for those interfaces? Is UDP68 being passed?

              DHCP should always be allowed on any interface that has a dhcp server enabled on it. It clients can pull an IP but cannot connect otherwise that would be a missing firewall rule.

              I assume it's still not working?

              The only thing I can see you have changed is that port 8 is now an untagged member of VLAN1. Which really should make no difference at all.
              Everything else looks correct. At leasy enough to allow clients on ports 2-7 to pull a dhcp lease.

                Hello and thank you for your help.
                No, I never needed to open UDP port 68 for a DHCP-enabled interface for this to work.
                For more information read the following reply I made to @stephenw10

                  Hello, As I answered previously, I never needed to activate UDP 68 for DHCP to work with an interface.
                  Anyway, it works and the problem came simply from the faulty network cable.
                  So, I don't have a firewall rule for UDP 68 and it works.
                  On the other hand, I do not understand why VLAN1 of the internal switch sends me an error if I want to remove port 8 from it.
                  Here are screenshots with DHCP working without UDP rule 68 for the interface.
                  Many thanks to @stephenw10 and @rcoleman-netgate for your help.

                    Yes, exactly, you don't need a firewall rule to pass that. DHCP requests are always allowed by the firewall into any interface that has a DHCP server enabled on it.
