      Hello all,

      I have been playing with pfsense on Hyper V as a VM. I'm able to create VLANs and add it to a parent interface (trunk port) and then able to add a managed switch to it to use the VLANs.

      But what I'm trying to achieve is the following:
      ---> My server has 8 Lan Ports. (pic below)

      What I'm trying to achieve is to use the other lan ports as access ports for one of the vlans (VLAN 340) assigned on Port 2 (Trunk port - vlans 340-350)

      You can do this easily on juniper or a cisco router by assigning the ports as access and trunks ports with the respective VLANs. However looks like pfsense doesn't do this by default and need a managed switch. I really don't want to use another switch.

      Is there any "hack" or workaround for this scenario?

      Thanks in advance.
