clarknova join:2010-02-23 Fairview, AB kudos:5 Reviews: ·voip.ms ·link2voip	reply to zacron Re: Help with VLANs On the switch, use 802.1Q vlans. Port 26 will be tagged ("T") for both vlans. The other switch ports will be untagged ("U") for the desired vlan, with the pvid set to match. On pfsense you will create the same two vlans and create an interface for each on the parent NIC that will be plugged into port 26 on the switch. See here for a similar example using a Netgear switch: »forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topi···sg148389 Note one important difference there is that the OP was using a single NIC for WAN and LAN, while you're using a separate NIC for WAN and LANs. The switch setup details should do you some good though. -- db

clarknova join:2010-02-23 Fairview, AB kudos:5 Reviews: ·voip.ms ·link2voip	reply to tomdlgns I run 13 vlans on a pfsense with a single physical NIC. It's not best practise from a security standpoint, but technically it does the job. One advantage of running multiple NICs is that it appears (from my limited observations), that each NIC will use a different CPU core. Thus, if you have a multi-core CPU in your pfsense installation, you can get better maximum routing throughput by utilizing more than one real NIC. -- db

tomdlgns join:2003-03-21 Chicago, IL	if i add more vlans i am going to try to do them on the same NIC for practice (in setup) and to see how well it works. however, do you run a separate NIC for WAN and LAN? i have a virtual box setup and i can install pfsense on that and test it in a virtual environment with 1 NIC for everything.

clarknova join:2010-02-23 Fairview, AB kudos:5 Reviews: ·voip.ms ·link2voip	said by tomdlgns: do you run a separate NIC for WAN and LAN? No. I used to, but then I upgraded to a board with only a single NIC, and I didn't have another NIC to add to it at the time. I will probably add one, but I've been running this way for a while. Even with separate WAN and LAN NICs I would still have vlans on both NICs, because I'm doing 8-line MLPPP, so I have 8 modems vlanned into the WAN. -- db

tomdlgns join:2003-03-21 Chicago, IL	i was going to ask if this was for a business environment, but after reading your last reply i know the answer. then again, why would anyone have 13 vlans in a home setup? actually, i am sure someone probably does. i had three for testing my setup, but now i only have two. not really needed for what i do, but still nice having a separate network for x reason.

zacron Premium join:2008-11-26 canada Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL	reply to clarknova SO then... Port 26 will be (Tagged for both Vlan1 and vlan2 with the PVID being 1?) Ports 1 - 4 (Will be tagged under Vlan1 and 5-25 with nothing?) While Ports 24-25 (Will be tagged under Vlan2 and 1-23 with nothing?) Is this correct?

shdesigns Powered By Infinite Improbabilty Drive Premium join:2000-12-01 Stone Mountain, GA	Port 26 set to Tagged The PVID should not really matter, could be 0 if you want access to the untagged NIC on pfsense. Ports 1-25 set as untagged Ports 1-4 have PVID 1 Ports 24-25 have PVID of 2 -- Scott Henion Embedded Systems Consultant, SHDesigns home - DIY Welder

zacron Premium join:2008-11-26 canada Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL	Yes but this switch provides a seperate "Tag/Untag" interface for each vlan. So I'd tag only port 26 on both vlans and the other ports, for both vlans would be untagged? PVID's Set as per needs? Thanks, Zacron -- "Recognize, Realize, and Repent"

shdesigns Powered By Infinite Improbabilty Drive Premium join:2000-12-01 Stone Mountain, GA	Yes, port 26 would be set as tagged in both VLAN's. All others untagged. PVID would be set to the VLAN 1/2 as needed.
