Multiple NIC ports with different VLANs connection to switch

@Hoserman said in Multiple NIC ports with different VLANs connection to switch:
What I want to do is separate my vlans on Separate Nic wires.
As I said, you do that at the switch. You only have to use VLANs in pfSense if you're carrying more than one network over one interface, as in my example.

@Hoserman you are confusing the terminology of VLANS with separate networks.
VLANS = multiple virtual networks with a single parent NICYou have two NICs, well assuming you have at least 3 with one being your WAN, each NIC is a discrete physically separate network. Nothing virtual about it.

@johnpoz I'm just learning about this stuff as I hope you can tell. I understand your impatience but you act as if everyone out there knows what your talking about without explaining yourself in simple to understand terms rather than repeating the same "That's Not A VLAN." Ok maybe you could explain what your concept is of a VLAN Is.
I too have lost patience with you as I stated earlier.
But now that we have gotten to this point and you have explained yourself I Thank you for your assistance. -

@ahking19 Thanks, I understand now.

@JKnott Thanks, I'll do it at the switch level.

@JKnott Hi jknott
So, I can delete the vlans I created in PFsense and just create the vlans on the switch?
Will the switch block the traffic between the vlans? -

Yes.

Yes.

@JKnott Thanks, I appreciate the help...

@Hoserman
You were confusing layer 2 and layer 3 traffic. Be careful not to create a routing loop. STP is your friend when working with multiple networks. STP is Spanning Tree Protocol which you want to use to protect your network. There are at least 3 versions of STP that come to mind right now. Some converge faster than others.
