How-to Discussions / Re: VLAN DHCP In OPNSense?
June 09, 2021, 11:26:06 PM
I couldnt get OpnSense to work, even when matching the VLAN ids. So i gave up and bought another Sonicwall (Sonicwall SOHO 250).

Thanks for the help though!

HNG, i need your help :(

I followed all the instructions in:

https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/configure-vlans-opnsense/
https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/configure-dhcp-vlans-opnsense/

Created the VLAN interfaces (i have 7), enabled DHCP for each of them in a different range, added the firewall rules to access internet (the current version of OpnSense auto adds the DHCP firewall rules).

But when i enable 802.1Q VLAN on the smart switch, my computer fails to get an IP address.

I was told by a friend that i should set VLAN 1 to untagged and the rest to tagged but that doesnt fix it. Find attached what the switch page looks like.

Topic Suggestions / OpnSense Howto Updates?
May 28, 2021, 05:09:00 PM
A lot of the guides are referring to functions that have been changed in newest version of OpnSense and its confusing to follow them as a newbie.

For example, the rules dont specify if IN or OUT should be used for direction.

Can you update them?

My switch is an all or nothing kind of thing. If i enable VLAN support, all ports have it enabled, i cant leave one port un-enabled.

So im having a problem, i followed all your guides, got VLAN's set up, enabled the DNS and DHCP rules for them (at the very least my management computer), got a smart VLAN switch. But everytime i enable VLAN on the switch (and set it to use the same VLAN IDs as i have configured on site), i lock myself out of OpenSense.

Any idea how to get around this?

Aha! That was the problem. My switches are dumb and unmanaged.
I'm going to get one 8 port VLAN aware switch instead.

I was looking at https://www.amazon.ca/TP-Link-Ethernet-Unmanaged-Replacement-TL-SG108E/dp/B00K4DS5KU  Is that one good enough or do you recommend something else? Ideally i dont want to spend over $100 on the switch.

P.S. It will be used at home where i need to isolate 5 networks.

P.P.S. I was using Sonicwall SOHO for the last 15 years but got tired of having to pay yearly for access to updated firmware.

I followed your guide at https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/configure-dhcp-vlans-opnsense/ and i have a DHCP range set up for a network but my pc will not grab an ip address from the range i set up! And i have 2 switches (daisy chained) to the physical switch. My PC only successfully gets and IP when the physical interface itself has DHCP set up.

Whats happening and how do i fix this?
