VLANS help
-
Hi Guys,
I recently setup a PFSense on a micro PC.Our modem is connected to a smart switch and the psfense is connected to that.
The access points for the rest of the house is connected to that switch.
Office is behind pfsense and IOT is outsite of PFSense.
I want to add the IOT devices to PFSense but on a VLAN.
My pfbox has about 5 ports, WAN and 4 LAN.
Do i add the VLAN to another physical port or keep them together?
If i do add the VLAN to another port, how do i seperate camera from the rest of the house?
everything shares the wireless mesh access points.
I am adding the devices because PFBlockerng does a great job of blocking ads.

@sbaksh If you have the spare router interface, and sounds like you do, then that would be the way to go instead of sharing bandwidth on one interface but either way would work.
All you'd have to do is connect the IoT pfSense port to a switchport, that switchport will need a different pvid than the LAN switchports.
As far as everything using the same AP's... can they do vlans and multiple ssid's?
If so, set up a new SSID and set it to the vlan id that you sed in the switch for the IoT subnet. You'll then have to trunk the ports to the AP's with the LAN untagged and the IoT tagged. -
@Jarhead Awesome Thanks
