Hi everyone,I have a pretty basic VLAN question that I haven't been able to find the answer to: Can pfSense do VLAN trunking? More specifically: I'm installing a Metro Ethernet connection with pfSense boxes on each end. I need to tag all traffic sent over the Metro Ethernet connection with a

Hi, As the recent discussion in the forum shows, there is interest in a new traffic shaper. From the discussion I can see that everybody wants something different from the traffic shaper. :-) Wishes include: - transparent traffic shaping - QOS - shaping on all interfaces - shaping traffic

Should work - I've been playing with vlans and got it all working. The only weirdness I have left to solve is why my vlan only works if there's a tcpdump -i vlan0 /dev/null running on my pfsense box. If thats not running I simply see no data. -Original Message- From: Nathan

Thanks everyone, it worked.For future reference, here's how: I created a new VLAN and assigned it to the Metro Ethernet interface. Then I added the VLAN as a new interface and enabled it, assigning a static IP in a different IP range from the Metro Ethernet interface. I rebooted next for the
