How to use vlan

Mon Dec 30, 2019 4:46 pm

Hello,

I have a question. I am using pfsense as a router and i have a cap ap as a Access point in bridge mode and i want to set-up a virtual ap with a vlan. I already have the vlan set-up in pfsense and it is reachable from the main network but when i set up the virtual ap with a vlan i can't get a ip from that vlan

Thanks for your help but alas to no avail.
Maybe it does not work because i have my pfsense router in a vm on my windows machine. It does use my ethernetcard for lan network but maybe it's that part where the tag's get lost.

Network: VM --> HOST (NEWORK CARD) --> TP-LINK MANAGED SWITCH --> MIKROTIK CAP AP

The production hardware is gone be deliverd soon. I will try it then again.

Again thanks for your help.

If pfSense is loosing tags, then that's between pfSense and tp-link. It is essential that configs on tp-link and cap ac match ... so whatever vlans are configured to be tagged on tplink (on port connecting cap ac) have to be configured accordingly on cap ac as well.
