[Hardware]

Dear all

Can you support me with my network setup?

Hardware

• Router: Gowin R86S (3x Ethernet port, 2x fiber port)
• Switch: TP-Link tl-sg3428xmp (Layer 3 switch)

Connections on Gowin R86S

• Fiber port 1: Internet connection
• Fiber port 2: DAC to switch
• Ethernet 1: (empty)
• Ethernet 2: (empty)
• Ethernet 3: (empty)

Objective

• Make switch recognizable on the OPNsense (it's not showing on aliases, i also don't know the IP-address and hence can't access it, but it works somehow)
• Create a VLAN for port 1-5 on the switch
• Create a VLAN for port 6 on the switch
• Create a VLAN for all other ports
• Setup a VPN connection (Wireguard or OpenVPN) for port 6

Since I am a beginner in the networking world and have never used OPNsense before, a step-by-step desciption would be required.

Thank you very much for your support!
