Doh. I think this may be what killed me right here. I had setup tagging on my laptop, with the port set to switchport access vlan 101. In retrospect, what you're saying makes perfect sense - I guess I know what I'll be trying tonight. By the way, if anyone has seen a document detailing using PFSense on a 2950 from scratch, a link would be awesome.
I'm sure I'll have more questions, but everyone's assistance so far is greatly appreciated. ~Nathan -----Original Message----- From: RB [mailto:aoz....@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 4:43 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] VLANs/802.1q Trunking On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 02:17, Aarno Aukia <m...@arska.ch> wrote: > You need to configure the interface on the 2950 to your pfsense box as > a trunk to send and receive tagged packets. > e.g.: > > Interface fastethernet0/6 > switchport mode trunk > switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q Ditto, but make sure that if you're tagging packets on the laptop as well to set it as a trunking interface also. By using "switchport access", you're telling the switch to drop tagged packets and place any untagged ones on VLAN 101. This is right for end-point ports - it is unwise to allow your client devices to freely tag however they see fit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
