How to view VLAN
-
Good morning, I have an Ubiquiti Access Point connected to a Netgear switch. I'd like to understand which VLAN it uses to present itself to DHCP in Pfsense. Depending on the VLAN, it should acquire a different address class, but something isn't working. Thanks.

hey there,
@Monta said in How to view VLAN:I'd like to understand which VLAN it uses
depending on your switch port configuration...I'd say
If your AP is connected to lets say port 5 and you configured that Port to transport packets with Vlan ID 5 tag...it should be in VLan 5 asking for an IP out of for example 192.168.5.0/24...or you have it on port 4 in VLAN 4 so it should get an IP out of (example) 192.168.4.0/24...@Monta said in How to view VLAN:

That describes everything and nothing at once...you possibly get more help if you give precise info on what exactly (something...your light? your car?) isnt working (meaning...what?).

@the-other Thanks for the prompt response. I need a tool, a real-time log in pfsense that can tell me which VLAN a packet is presenting to the DHCP server.
I have 3 devices, Ubiqiti AC, Netgear switch and pfsense. Probably one of these is not set correctly.
I hope the real time log can help me. -
@Monta you could do a traffic capture and look out for dhcp related packets...coming from, going to...pfsense offers that already.
here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/diagnostics/packetcapture/webgui.htmlyou could also provide screenshot(s) of:
- vlan config pfense and vlan interfaces for dhcp
- vlan config of switch
- config of AP
maybe that gives a hint...
