<![CDATA[Does the VK-2D13 (ALIX.2D13) support VLAN Tagging?]]>I need to replace an old and dying P4 box with something a wee bit more efficient. I was looking at the VK-2D13 (ALIX.2D13) sold at the pfSense store. My question is does it support VLAN tagging? i.e. my current setup used one interface for the WAN and one interface for 4 tagged VLANS going to a smart switch. Will the ALIX board work for this? If not what alternative do you suggest?

Thanks

No trouble running VLANs on that.
With multiple WANs I have trouble during failover - with 2.1.* at lot of stuff fires up at once failing over OpenVPN server/clients, doing DynDNS updates… and it sometimes runs out of the 256MB in real time. That means some process/es implementing the failover changes get killed, and so some things in the failover do not always implement. I believe this should be better in 2.2. Anyway, just saying that in a multi-WAN scenario on 2.1.* 256MB is not quite enough memory.
