[SOLVED] VLAN in W11 to be connected to a port

[jejesh26]

Dears,

I have created a VLAN in PFsense, flag 30, attached to the LAN Interface. This LAN interface is linked to the vmbr1 bridge in proxmox, which is itself bridged to the physical port enp2s0 as shown below.




The LAN IP addresses are 10.10.5.0/24 whereas the VLAN are 10.10.30.0/24

Creating VMs and assigning a VLAN with flag 30 works all fine. All my VMs are with 10.10.30.* addresses, according the the DHCP range set in PFSense.


However, connecting the laptop to the RJ45 physical port is not working for VLAN 30
.
Without setting any VLAN flag in the net card of my LAPTOP, I got a 10.10.5.* address, which is the LAN address. So that's OK, with no VLAN flag, the laptop received an IP address from the lan in PFsense through enp2s0

But if I set the flag to 30 in W11 Network adapter, and make sure VLAN is enabled, I got no IP at all. Not the VLAN nor the LAN one.
Seems that the "VLAN flag" is not passing though the RJ45 cable down to the PFSense VLAN.



Anything I missed here ?
THks for your help

Not sure I understand correctly, but if you tag the physical port - then you do not need to add the tag inside Win 11 - the port will take care of tagging packets for you.

But I don't want to tag the PORT in proxmox because I want both LAN and several VLANs to use this port to access a router (I tested with W11 laptop with no luck)...

I finaly fixed the issue by using a tool from Realtek to set the VLAN ID in the NIC. Seems that although the option was available in the default NIC driver, the value wasn't persistent.
