No DHCP on pfSense VLAN with Cisco Smart Switch
-
@Cannondale I just sent a message to Steve.. @stephenw10 maybe he can see something I am missing..
But it sure shouldn't matter if pfsense is using a native untagged on the interface along with tags..
What version of pfsense are you running - what nic specific do you have? I mean its igb should be the same..
I have been running vlans on pfsense since really pfsense came out, have never seen a issue with them on any hardware or any switches..

@johnpoz
"vlan: 20 vlanproto: 802.1q vlanpcp: 0 parent interface: ixl0"
I also have that vlanproto in ifconfig output, so I'd say that there has to be something we are missing in Cannondale's pfSense config. -
@mvikman but what? And that would matter if there was a native vlan or not.. The native is what wouldn't use any tagging..
@stephenw10 answered me back - so hoping he is reading over this long thread now and will chime in and make us all feel stupid ;)

Currently, the NIC in the pfSense box is a Dell / Intel HM9JY.
I have also tested with NIC Dell / Intel YT674.
The server board is a Supermicro X10SLH-F, which also has two Intel NICs.
I have tested with the second onboad NIC with the same results on the SG250. -
Looks like both HM9JY and YT674 are Intel Pro 1000VT Quad Port Nics that use Intel 82575GB chip.
Supermicro board has Intel I210-AT chip. -

If I remember correctly, the YT674 is a VT card with the 82575B controller while the HM9JY is an ET card and has the 82576 controller, which has slightly better capabilities.

@Cannondale Yeah, you're right the other one is an ET card. It adds support for SR-IOV and IPSec offload over VT card.
