    Hi guys,
    I get no DHCP for my IoT devices. I know I must probably be missing a rule, but what is the question. I have started something in the below picture. I figure, as I block all to pfSense, it must be before that, right?

    Then I found this post talking on allowing DHCP to all... Is that what I need to do, adding something like
    a6ac5819-8ca2-4303-9d98-3c749185e8fa-image.png where pfSense lives?

    and not have the topmost rule in the vlan rules?

    Thanks

      @furom DHCP works without rules. What have you done in the DHCP Server is of more interest.

        @bob-dig Thanks,
        well, so I believed also, and it is me, i'm sure...

        In the IoT DHCP server section I have only

        • enabled DHCP
        • set scope to part of the subnet
        • defined DNS to point to vlans first address aka "gateway"

        That's it. I see no request for DHCP in the log at all, in fact nothing from IoT. I forgot to add I'm running in 802.1Q mode if that could have anything to do with this.

        Edit: Verified with an ubuntu install on same vlan, it does not get any IP - to rule out my IoT device malfunctioning...

        Edit2: I believe it is my Proxmox that is misconfigured network-wise, and don't propagates the vlan's I expect it to. If anyone has a clue, I'd really appreciate some help...

          @furom so I just recently had the same issue in some of my vlan. I believe that the issue on my end was that my UniFi switch had not been informed that there existed a new vlan only network so it wasn’t passing that traffic from what I can tell to get an ip from my virtualized pfsense in proxmox.

          That ended up fixing it for me , hope you have good luck with yours.

            Thanks! I did actually, (and forgot to mark this as solved). It was indeed a misconfiguration, if I recall correctly it was both my Proxmox networking settings and the Netgate switch that had been set wrong. :)
