Vlan and Dell Switch X1052

blackblood

Hi guys.

I’m aware this is an old question but still so I need some help.

I have a dell switch x1052.
Two vlan interfaces created.

Native 1
Vlan 10

Port 3 -> End user machine wired -> access pvid 10 untagged
Port 35 -> wired to the main pfsense nic -> access pvid 1 untagged
Port 36 -> wired to the third nic to pfsense -> access pvid 10 untagged

Both vlan interfaces are addressed on switch.

I’m using a third nic to set the vlan 10 on pfsense.

Vlan created and assigned to the interface re0.
Interface created on interfaces and saved.

Static ip assigned. 10.0.10.1 on pfsense to interface vlan 10.

Interface synced and up on system logs.

Dhcp is configured and active for both vlans on pfsense, native and 10.

An initial firewall rule is created on vlan10 ipv4 * any any for testing purposes.

The machine on port 3 doesn’t get an ip for vlan10 through dhcp scope.

On wireshark the machine sent to switch a broadcast but get nothing in return and after the timeout the message is “can’t find a dhcp server”.

What have I tried until now?

Ports 3 and 36 access pvid 10 untagged
Ports 3 and 36 trunk vlan 10 tagged
Ports 3 and 36 general vlan 10 tagged and untagged
Ports 3 and 36 general vlan 10 untagged

Nothing works. No traffic is reaching the pfsense vlan 10 interface.

Pfsense version 2.4.5 and I don’t know what else to look to get things work.

When I used to work with HP switches, the configuration was pretty simple, vlan different than the native in an end user machine port is access untagged. In case using unifi, the switch port the unifi is connected were native vlan untagged and other vlans tagged.

Now I can’t get to work something simple as that.

Where am I missing something? On pfsense or dell switch?

The cli switch is poor and doesn’t have the main commands to configure a port. The firmware is up to date.

Thanks in advance.

Edit1: the firewall rule is not tcp, I made a typo. It is any because dhcp is udp, sorry.

Edit2: on system logs > firewall the only thing I can see on re0 is 0.0.0.0:68 to 255.255.255.255:67 denied.

Edit3: Finally the things have worked. What I did based on @jasonlitka post on another thread. I open up the cli to check the running config file on the ports 3 and 36. I have cleaned all the configurations on each port. So the configurations are below:

Switch01 Core(config)#do show running-config interface GigabitEthernet1/0/03
interface gigabitethernet1/0/3
 description "Live Esquerda"
 switchport access vlan 10
!
Switch01 Core(config)#do show running-config interface GigabitEthernet1/0/36
interface gigabitethernet1/0/36
 switchport mode general
 switchport general allowed vlan add 10 tagged
 switchport general allowed vlan add 1 untagged
!

And bang! Machine is addressed and working.
