Pfsense and VLAN Problem
-
Hi All,
I had trouble with setting VLAN by Pfsense and Switch L2 Asus.
On PC running Pfsense Ver 1.2.3 I have 2 Netword Card
Eth0 - Connect to modem to Internet
Eth1 - Giga speed network conect to switch L2
On eth1 i was create 3 VLAN and setup DHCP Server on each VLAN, everything seem ok. But when I connect PC client ( running windows XP SP2) to port on L2 switch were setting for Tagged with Pfsense VLAN it cannot communicate with VLAN - It can not receice IP from VLAN DHCP. But when I change testing to pc running windows 7 everything was success in same port with same setting i can get IP from VLAN DHCP Server and connect to Internet from any VLAN.
I dont know what happened to my network, this is my first VLAN setting so i have not much experience about this.
Any body can help me to find some thing wrong with my network setting i cant change all of PC to Windows 7.Thanks in advance.!

Well it sounds like it should work.
My recheck book contains.
CIDR is correct on opt lan, DHCP is auto on client, change cable, boot from a livecd like ubuntu.else post some screenshots.

Thanks for reply,
I'm not yet try on client running Linux I will try late and give the response to you. About setting on pfsense i think is not trouble, anyway I will look more again.
Thanks

I'm not sure if i understood your description correctly, but is the port on the switch going to the client tagged or untagged?

I found the reason is network card on pc client doesn't support VLAN, and then I try to update driver for network card and now everytihing is OK but new problem is we have alot of Realtek 8139 network and is not support VLAN although i was update to newest driver.

Clients doesn't need vlan support nics. ports that they are connected to should be set as untagget.
pfsense <–--tagget----> asus switch <----untagget---->clients
