Ah thank you! Changing port 9 to be just in VLAN 50 fixed the issue.

I think I naively assumed that for devices that do not support VLANs they would just ignore a packet if it is VLAN tagged.

Thanks for quick reply. I do have an untagged VLAN on a network interface, but I didn't think that should affect things, since I thought only VLAN 1 traffic would be handled and other tagged traffic ignored.

How my router is setup I have two network interfaces:
* vtnet0 (WAN)
* vtnet1 (LAN)

From vtnet1 (LAN) I created a bunch of vlans and interfaces for different VLAN tags like 10, 20, 30, etc. Then I also assigned vtnet1 to an interface intending it to handle traffic with vlan tag 1. I could create a separate vlan for 1 but my understanding is that should act the same. I did try changing it to this setup but seeing the same result.



My switch is TL-SG1016PE and is configurable with 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1Q PVID settings. I have it configured like

My computer is on port 9, the PVID (default vlan) is set to 50 and VLAN 50 is set to be tagged on all ports and untagged on the computer's port. From my understanding then, it should tag all the traffic from my computer as VLAN 50.

The connections are configured kind of like trunks in that all other vlans are tagged on port 9. But I didn't think that should cause problems since only the vlan 50 tagged traffic should be sent to my computer right?

[Interfaces > [WAN] Config]

I am using comcast and setup my router using vlans I am seeing a strange problem with ipv6 connections timing out from my windows computer. I think the cause is a strange scenario where my computer is getting assigned multiple different IPv6 addresses (6 in my last repro), each one from a different VLAN. Also it gets 3 different DNS servers from different VLANs. If I `ping -6` the DNS server of the VLAN it is on, then it works. But pinging the other vlans do not work as expected.

Now the question is why it is getting the ips from all the vlans? Also note this does not always happen. It usually happens after I restart the router advertisement service, and generally doesn't happen when I disable and re-enable my network connection. Saying generally, because I have seen it happen again in maybe 2 of 30 tries. Also no problems with ipv4 address, only ipv6.

Some variations I have tried, but still encountered the problem after Router Advertisement service restart:
* Disable DHCPv6 for User VLAN and set "Allow manual adjustment of DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements" to false
* Set Router Advertisements to Managed for User VLAN
* Set Router Advertisements "Use the DNS configuration of the DHCPv6 server" to false for User VLAN
