VLAN setup problems

I've tried to setup VLANs on two Netgear switches connected via LAG.  It's not working properly.  I cannot ping devices either connected via wire (port 2) or wirelessly that are on the VLAN 50.  I've attached my network setup and hope someone can see the error in my setup.

  • Ok, I found the issue.  It turns out I had a setting, Guest Network, selected in the UniFi controller software.  This blocked layer-2 broadcasts/unicast messages between guests on the WLAN.  After deselecting this option, I was able to see/ping/access all devices across the VLAN.

     

    As a note, I also applied the settings found in the following netgear post:

    VLAN + LAG

  • So ping on the same switch VLAN (pfsense<->raspi) does not work either?

     

    LAG is correctly configured - ideally LACP if all switches are supporting) - and showing up on both ends?

      correct, ping doesn't work on the same switch (pfsense<->RPi), but only related to port 2 (VLAN 50).  I can ping from pfsense to another device on the LAN (VLAN 1?)

       

      The LAG has been functioning for more than a year, but have never setup VLAN's before

        So worth checking the pfsense trunk for correct tagging and interface config.

         

        Briefly looked into your document yesterday with the config (wow, wish everybody asking for VLAN assistance in the community would provide this information - good job!) I'd say it's ok. Sorry, missed to mention this yesterday.
