      Here's my setup

      AP (Aruba - nothing changed here prior to pfsense migration) w/ Guest Network tagged with Vlan 3. ---> LAN Switch ---> PFSENSE bare metal host. LAN switch is interface ix0

      In PFSENSE, I've--

      • Created the vlan 3
      • Assigned it an interface w/ parent interface being the LAN interface
      • Enabled the interface - setup the network address
      • Enabled the DHCP server (uses DNS servers from LAN net)
      • Created Firewall rules

      I can't seem to get an IP address when connecting to that SSID. Does anything stick out as being wrong? I've restarted PFSENSE and the WAP for my sanity, but no change

        Ok, this is resolved.

        Along w/ my PFSENSE migration I added a ubiquiti Layer 2 managed switch. The only vlan setup on that switch was the default Vlan 1. B/c of that, any other traffic tagged w/ a different vlan was being automatically dropped.

        So I went into UniFi > Settings > Network > Add New Virtual Network, added Vlan 3 there, and boom! Clients now get IPs and that SSID is working
