4. Bridging wireless with VLAN and DHCP

Bridging wireless with VLAN and DHCP

  • J

    I am trying to bridge a Ethernet VLAN to wireless and strip the VLAN. Whole reason is that my network has multiple VLAN for guests etc. I followed this guide http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,20917.0.html but not much success (although it has worked for simpler setup). My config is:

    • <interfaces>- <wan><enable><if>vr0</if>
        <media><mediaopt>- <descr>-   ]]></descr>
        <alias-address><alias-subnet>32</alias-subnet>

    Could anyone point me in the right direction?

    looks sane. What does ifconfig show?

    That's all good. What problem are you having specifically?

    I don't any pass through of DHCP packets for the machines that connect to ether one of the wireless boxes.

    Do you mean, your DHCP server is not pfSense … its on your VLAN. And clients on WIFI dont get an IP adress? You have to setup extra rules for that kind of traffic. IMHO it*s not enough to allow ANY to ANY ...

    Yes, you have heard right! You have to set a extra rule for this ... dont know exactly, but search for bridge and dhcp in the forum. There is a thread which is explaining the issue.
