General Discussion / Re: n00b question; 1st time setup with VLANs and Managed Switch
« on: February 25, 2018, 07:35:36 pm »
Well, that totally makes sense; but then I fail to see how can I configure OPNsense from the GUI? I am at a loss here.
In my test setup I have port 1 connected to my 172.16.1.x network (considered WAN for this test setup). Port 1 is untagged for Vlan10 (WAN) on the switch. On port 2 OPNsense is connected. Port 2 is tagged for Vlan10 on the switch.
Instead I’ve also tried to keep all ports on the switch untagged for Vlan 1 which is the default / native and management Vlan; and none of the ports tagged. Plain vanilla just as the switch came out of the box.
At the OPNsense CLI I assign interface em0 (my only Ethernet port) to WAN with DHCP enabled. It grabs an address and I can access the GUI from the 172.16.1.x network. I don’t have LAN configured or any VLANs at this point.
Can you help me how to logically approach the setup steps from here on so I can configure and enable my VLAN interfaces, etc. without loosing access to the GUI? Is there anything else I need to configure at the CLI?
Or maybe there’s a how-to for this type of setup hat you could point me to?
Thanks Bart!
