I Got Questions...Does Someone Have Answers??

[spetrillo]

Ok folks I hope you can help. I am trying to build a config on a new PC and am running into some issues that I do not understand. I am betting that these are simple enough but I seem to be brain freezing...

1) I have configured LAN to be on my physical interface of IGB0(192.168.1.0/29). I am not configuring DHCP bc there will not be anything connecting on this subnet. This is merely here bc of Unbound and any other systems that reside on OPNsense. If I need to connect I can simply hard configure my PC is to be on this subnet, but this should not be needed.
2) I have configured a VLAN on top of IGB0 for VLAN1, which is my mgmt VLAN(192.168.0.0/24). DHCP was configured for this, with 192.168.0.21-192.168.0.254 being the scope.
3) On my core switch, where the OPNsense firewall will connect, I have configured the port to be tagged for VLAN 1 and only VLAN 1.

So the questions are:

1) Will the above work as configured?
2) Should 192.168.1.1 be available via VLAN 1 from another port on the switch?
3) Am I barking up a tree trying to get this to work?

The reason why I am doing this is I have a 4 port network card and I hate having to dedicate IGB0 to the LAN interface only, if its only to get to systems that are on the OPNsense. Seems to be a waste of a perfectly good NIC, that could be used for other things like VLANs. If dedicating the NIC to this interface is the simplest config I still have 3 NICs that can be used for all my VLAN needs.

I am just looking for some guidance and rationale. If I need to be slapped it would not be the first time!
