General Discussion / Opnsense - Tagged-Trunk port only?
« on: November 01, 2024, 11:43:17 pm »
Hello everyone,
My home network is planned to have the following VLANs:
VLAN 2 = Data
VLAN 3 = Wifi
VLAN 4 = Wifi-Guest
VLAN 101 = Management
Now, when I setup Opnsense on my CWWK N100 box, I set eth0 (igc0) to be my WAN and eth1 (igc1) to be my "lan" network. This network is assigned the 192.168.1.x/24 network.
The network switch I am using is a Ruckus-Brocade ICX7150 switch.
So, I know how to configure VLAN interfaces off of igc1 but what I am looking to do is only accept tagged traffic (aka Trunk) between my Ruckus-Brocade switch and Opnsense.
Example, today I was trying to figure this out and I had had my brocade uplink port to Opnsense tagged in my vlans and untagged on the default vlan #1.
When I removed my switch port #1 (which goes to Opnsense igc1) from the default vlan, I lost connectivity.
In Opnsense, my VLANs are defined with VLAN tags, but what I think is that maybe the traffic is passed between Opnsense and my Brocade switch on default VLAN #1.
I am very familiar with L2 switching and the Brocade style configuration. I want all of my VLANs tagged on the uplink to Opnsense.
What I am not sure is how to only accept traffic on Opnsense, interface igc1 as only tagged traffic.
Thank you,
