4. [Resolved ] Vlan not working

[Resolved ] Vlan not working

  • S

    Hi
    I have intel pro 1000 gt network card for my Lan side.
    I configured vlan on it but my pc wont get ip from vlan subnet.

    Pc is using Windows 7 and using Vista drivers as there is support for vlan in these drivers.

    Also tried on same pc using kali Linux.

    Dhcp is configured properly. Firewall is wide open.

    Assigning  manual ip on vlan interface in either windows 7 or kali Linux I was unable to communicate with default gateway which resides on pfsense for that vlan.

    Please advise

    Did you configure your switch? tagged port to pfSense untagged to your windows node?

    lan of pfsense firewall is directly connected to windows machine.
    i wanted to create vlans on windows so i can bind virtual switches to it.

    So you're not using a switch? If your Windows box is directly plumbed into the LAN NIC on the firewall, are you using a crossover cable?

    yes i am not using any managed switch..
    regarding cable i am using straright through cable ..  shouldnt the mdi/mdx work ?

    i also tried by connecting the lan port of pfsense to one of the lan (not wan )port of wifi router running on ddwrt (tplink tlwr740n) in acces point mode.

    and connecting the cable from pc to  a lan port on ap .

    i am only able to communicate via default vlan  not the vlan that i created.

    You have to get into the NIC config on windows and create the VLANs there too. They should look like extra interfaces with IP address settings, etc.

    You shouldn't need a crossover cable. If you're not getting link at all try one.

    I am not sure where you should create the VLANs in windows. Either in windows itself of in the VMvisor.

    Yes I am getting those vlan interfaces. But I am unable to get up via dhcp on them. Tried manual ip from correct vlan pool wasn't able to ping the gateway for that vlan..  Tried creating an external  vswitch in hyper-v and bind it with one vlan interface do appeared in Windows but clients on those vlan were unable  to communicate with default gateway or other subnets even with manual ip assignment.

    Your rule is TCP-only. That's why we ask for screenshots.

    Your rule is TCP-only. That's why we ask for screenshots.

    the rule was any any (and still the vlan interface on my pc couldnt get ip address or communicate with manual ip ). later i had deleted that rule and vlan interface and recreated it and forgot to make the rule for all not just tcp ..

    so i again made it true any to any using any protocole and still my pc is unable to communicate.

    i have intel pro 1000 gt network card in my pc and on the lan interface of firewall.

    also tried capturing packets on vlan 60 opt couldnt see any packet . when i disabled the adapter for vlan 60 on my pc and reenabled it.

    I have no idea what to tell you to do on Windows.

    At this point I suggest you get at least a web-smart switch since it sounds like you really don't quite know what you're looking at.

    Definitely supported.  However, I don't see the em0_vlan60 interface.  Would be tough to connect on that interface if it didn't exist, no?

  • LAYER 8 Netgate

    True. Is it enabled and assigned an IP address, etc?

    And, looking closer, there should not be an em0_vlan1 interface. Untagged (default VLAN 1) traffic would simply be on em0, not em0_vlan1.

    Interface is enabled
    Dhcp scope is configured and enabled
    allow any to any using any protocol rule enabled
    Only vlan 60 exists. In vlan tab.
    Added to interfaces list.
    Still no luck. Can't get ip on that interface neither can communicate using manual ip assignment

    That all looks better.

    Make a trunk port with allowed vlan 60 and patch it to em0

    Make an access port on vlan 60 and plug in any laptop set to DHCP.

    Wait for spanning-tree to do its thing and you should be on 192.168.60.0/24

    i did a reboot and now its working when directly connected to lan port..
    but it doesnt works when an ap is inserted in between pfsense and server.
    the ap is tplink wifirouter (tl-wr740n) using ddwrt in ap mode . (wan port disabled. routing disabled. dhcp relaying enabled )..

    it seems that it doesnt supports vlans as its atheros based chip in this ap.

    however my issue is resolved.

    tried with cisco 3550 was able to trunk pfsense lan to cisco port 1 and another trunk from cisco port 7 to server.

    Good to hear.

    What did you reboot?

    I add and remove VLANs all the time on 2.1.5 and 2.2.6 I never have to reboot pfSense to make it work.

    If it works on two tagged ports it should work directly connected, as long as you don't need a crossover cable (or use a crossover cable).

    I rebooted pfsense.
    And magically both vlan interfaces on my pc obtained ip.
    Now it's doing vlaning properly.

    but it doesnt works when an ap is inserted in between pfsense and server.
    the ap is tplink wifirouter (tl-wr740n) using ddwrt in ap mode . (wan port disabled. routing disabled. dhcp relaying enabled )..

    It should work fine if you connect the AP to a port on your switch that is properly configured for the vlan that you wish the wireless clients to be in.

    I think he's saying he's trying to use the AP as a switch. You would have to make the switch ports tagged ports on the AP for that to work.
