WAN's in VLAN?
-
Is this possible?
unmanaged switch port
[LAN] –--- [pfSense Box] –--- [Managed Switch] –----- ADSL 1 in VLAN2 Port
------- ADSL 2 in VLAN3 Port
------- ADSL 3 in VLAN4 Port
------- ADSL 4 in VLAN5 PortSo in my pfsense, I'll only have 1 LAN and 4 VLAN's. Will I have trouble with this setup?
-
Yes this is possible.
No you should not have any problems.
Although you should not use VLAN1 on the port going to the pfSense. -
thanks for the correction.
will this Load Balance well with 1.2.3?
I've found some Chinese 5-Port VLAN capable switches that are pretty cheap. Trying to compare this setup with having 5 LAN ports on the machine itself.
-
Yes 1.2.3 will work.
It shouldn't be a "unmanaged switch port" either.
The port going to the pfSense needs to have all the VLAN traffic leaving tagged.so basically:
port to ADSL1 - untagged traffic, PVID 100
port to ADSL2 - untagged traffic, PVID 200
port to ADSL3 - untagged traffic, PVID 300
port to ADSL4 - untagged traffic, PVID 400
port to pfSense - tagged traffic vlan 100,200,300,400, PVID unused (just use a dummy like 999 and don't use this as a member of any group)On the pfSense create the VLAN-interfaces 100,200,300,400.
Don't assign the parent interface itself.
example:
NIC: em
vlan100 on em0 - assigned as OPT1
vlan200 on em0 - assigned as OPT2
vlan300 on em0 - assigned as OPT3
vlan400 on em0 - assigned as OPT4
em0 - not assigned -
I do this for mlppp and it works fine.
