Re: [pfSense] Dual-WAN setup using VLANs + pfsense on virtual machine
yes i mean vlan tagging. ok understood, thank you very much!

When you say "vlan routing" you might mean "vlan tagging"?? This depends on your virtualisation hypervisor software, if possible you might want to split your VLANs into Virtual networks and attach multiple virtual NICs to each virtual network. If that is not possible then pfsense can use VLANs and you can virtually map the virtual interface on pfsense to the physical interface on the machine hosting the virtual machines. Both methods can be done, not sure which would be the best, it would depend on the hypervisor. -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNP, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 8444 780677 +44 (0) 7983 877438 http://www.coochey.net http://www.netsecspec.co.uk gi...@coochey.net smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

There is just one vlan capable switch in the network. There is just one nic interface on this linux box.Pfsense vm should have 3 virtual nics (1 wan1,1 wan2, 1 lan). If this setup is viable, where shoud vlan routing be done? on linux box or in pfsense vm? I am using (https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/HOWTO_setup_vlans_with_pfSense) as a reference for this setup. I run a virtual pfsense for Virtual Networks, there should be no problem trunking VLANs through to your pfsense VM to cope with a Internal, WAN 1, WAN 2 and other DMZs if necessary. The routing between the VLANs should be done by pfsense.
