Title: VLAN xenserver
Post by: aroldo on March 07, 2018, 03:26:55 PM

I am not able to add a VLAN to OPNsense, in the VLAN create panel does not appear a compatible interface, the parent list interface is empty.

OPNsense 18.1.3-amd64 over FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6 over VM Xenserver 7.2 2017.0517 xen-os instaled.

What can be the cause?

Is this going to work for OPNsense too?

What I had to do was create a VLAN interface in xen, add the interface to the opnsense instance, and then configured the interface in OPNsense.

Yeah, we talked about this a few days ago. xn interfaces are not seen as VLAN-capable so we removed a restriction that was in place since 2005 preventing just that.

Ideally, this would land in the next 18.1 stable image cut. But it's not set in stone yet.


Cheers,

PS: If you have a running Xen instance you can of course try this patch right away:

Thanks, we'll hopefully ship this in 18.1.6.
