VLAN ON WAN
-
Hello everyone.
I have the following case that is surely very common but I don't know how to operate it.
It happens that my ISP is going to deliver the traffic tagged in VLANs, there are 3 VLANs in total that I suppose I should configure in my WAN interface, my question is, is it done in the same way as it is done for example in the LAN or how does the issue change there?
I ask this because those VLANs obviously have no addressing or anything, it is only my public IP. -
@oscar-pulgarin Technically yes, is the same principle that creating vlan on LAN. But, for curious, why you provider will deliver traffic on 3 differents vlan? Are three WAN networks on same link? I don't know the purpose to it, but the ISPs usually provide a single logical connection on a WAN interface, there's generally no need to segment this connection with VLANs
Hope this helps.

Could it be so that traffic is split up per service, where broadband is just one of VLAN's and the others may be IPTV and Telephony? If so, only one VLAN is required and the other two are optional...
-
@Gblenn Correct, so the service will be delivered by the ISP.
But then in that scenario, do I segment the WAN by VLANs or how would I proceed there? -
@oscar-pulgarin What VLAN ID's does your ISP say that you need?
If for example they use ID 100 for internet, I'm thinking you should do the following...
- Create a VLAN with ID 100, using the physical interface used for WAN (igb0 for example). This is under Interfaces > VLAN's
- Under Interfaces / Assignments, click the drop down box for WAN and select the newly created VLAN.
That should take case of your internet traffic.
To pass through IPTV I suppose you have to add that VLAN ID to both WAN and LAN as well as any switches that sit between pfsense and your TV-box.
