1.2-RC3 Vlan creation issue

[vantage]

My Network:

WAN(em1) – pfsense (Carped pair) --- (em0)802.1Q tagged Cisco switch
                           
                            \ (em2)non tagged Cisco switch

Both ciscos are taggable. But I have only been using tagging on one (em0). The other has been a single /24 net (em2).

I am trying to add another vlan to the previously untagged switch. When I remove the IPs from the non tagged interface (em2) and create 2 vlans on that interface, I cannot get traffic to pass into any of those vlans. I am unable to even ping anything on either vlan from the firewall. I have incomplete arp entries for all of the live IPs on the vlan subnets. The vlan interfaces show outgoing traffic, but no incoming. All throughput ot all interfaces stops as well.
I tried to add another vlan to the interface (em0) that already has 2 802.1q vlans on it and all throughput stops. even when I haven't touched the untagged interface.

This device was set up under 1.0.1 and upgraded to 1.2-RC3. so the original interfaces were all created under 1.0.1.

Any thoughts?
What info can I provide?

HELP!!

I am down to 6 free IPs on the untagged LAN. I need to get another vlan up quickly.
Thanks.

Did you reboot after you created the vlan's?
Since so many things has change in the code after 1.01 a reinstall is better than a upgrade imo.

[vantage]

I may have not rebooted untill I was trying to get back to a working config.  I suppose that could have been the issue.

[vantage]

Rebooting didnt help.

I reinstalled on my failover device and added this config in at install time.

All is happy now.

Any ideas why I was unable to add a vlan?

[cmb]

So you're saying adding the VLANs to a running system didn't work, even after reboot, but restoring the same config onto a fresh install did work?

@vantage:

No clue, I did several VLAN setups in the past week testing the ALIX VLAN patch and never had a single issue. Some NICs/drivers require a reboot before VLANs will work properly but it seems you eliminated that as a possibility.

[vantage]

I manualy added the vlans to a fresh install. Then I synced the rule set and the aliases.  and it worked.

Seames very odd.  I am going to try adding vlans to the fresh installed box and see if I have a failure there .
