How to use a managed switch with VLANs with SG-1100?
-
I have my managed switch that I was using with my Zimaboard on 2.6.0. Just got my SG-1100 delivery about 2 hours ago. I’m going absolutely bonkers trying to setup my VLANs to use only OPT1 and not the entire switch.
Plus, it’s saying that VLAN1 is reserved or something??
What is this freaky setup with the built-in switch?? It almost seems like the ports are bridged together, and then a VLAN is setup on each port, but that can’t be right, as it would make zero sense to do it that way.

@aaronouthier Never use VLAN1 for anything, it's the default.
The (native) 1100s VLANs are invisible outside the port interface.
The three interfaces are all switched ports on a single ETH controller. That's exactly how it's supposed to be. Check this out: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1069717
The 1100, 2100, 3100 and 7100 all have these switches. The difference is the 7100 has two 2.5GbE ethernet ICs LAGG'd into a single 5Gbps switch.

@rcoleman-netgate This is how I have an 1100 set up in the field:

I think I don’t completely understand how VLAN tagging works.In the photo above, I don’t understand what you did with the “Members” column.
My managed switch has 5 VLANs, ports 2 and 6 are untagged in VLAN1, ports 7 & 8 are untagged in VLAN 5, the rest are untagged alone in separate VLANs, and each VLAN has port 1 tagged.
I’m not clear how to interface with that in pfSense?

I may have figured it out by context. Standby while I test my theory…

I believe I have it now. I’ll be back if I don’t.
Thank you @rcoleman-netgate

It sounds pretty reasonable. I will try it now.
