Hi

I am running pfsense on proxmon and I am trying to enable vlans on pfsense but it appears clients on DMZ and IOT vlan are not able to get up ip via pfsense dhcp server. Vlans are 10( lan), 20 (DMZ) and 30 (IOT).

Proxmon is connected via trunk port to Cisco switch and accessible on vlan vmbr0.10(vlan 10). All vlans are allowed by default on the trunk. Configuration of pfsense NIC on proxmon attached. I have two physical NICs one of which (vmbr0) is used as LAN and vmbr1 as WAN. Pfsense is configured to use vlans and dhcp is enabled on each vlan

(Pfsense Hardware checksum offload disabled )

Proxmon version 7.2.11

I See nothing wrong in the Proxmox setup or in the parts of the pfSense setup shown.

can you ping the pfSense gateway address for either vlans 20 or 30 from the switch? Have you double checked that the switch is allowing connected devices in via untagged ports as appropriate for vlan 20 & 30?
 
It was strange indeed. I reboot proxmon and pfsense along with the switch and everything is working fine now :confused:

Thanks for the help
 
Glad it’s working. Not the first time I’ve heard a reboot of either Proxmox or the managed switch getting things working as expected when changes correctly made do not work on the fly.
