Bug in Broadcom bnxt driver in combination with VLANs
-
@tmoehle
Encouraging to hear! I will give it a(nother) proper go then.
Silly me just read an old forum posts about the packages requiring an update, which I somehow can't find anymore so I probably didn't read something correct when I was looking for a place to download 2.6 -
@tmoehle Sorry for prying a lot, but do the VLANs on your NIC really work?
I installed 2.6 and the NIC works without VLANs.
When I create a VLAN and assign it to an interface, No traffic gets through (oddly enough the DHCP does work)
When I set a different network port (non bnxt) with the same VLAN to the same configured interface, it all works (albeit I have to reload firewall rules first).I am hoping that I am doing something wrong, since DHCP somehow still works on the VLAN with bnxt, but I don't see any issues with the gateway and the firewall rule permits the traffic.

@Delegator5042 My VLANs are working perfectly fine, yes. If your DHCP is working within those VLANs and pfsense is your only DHCP server, then chances are you overlook something.

This should now be fixed in the next 23.09 snapshots if anyone can test that.

@stephenw10 Will it only go into 23.09 or will there also be an update for CE?
-
It's fixed upstream in FreeBSD so it will be pulled into new CE builds.

@stephenw10 Hi. With pfsense version 2.7.0 im still facing this issue.
Will it get resolved in 2.7.2 or should i downgrade?

Yes that patch is in 2.7.2: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/21d49ce6efe3883beef6d5456a3bda4194028b01
