Devices on VLAN do not get IP from DHCP
Dear NETGEAR community, I have been banging my head for a long time now and seek advice from you folks that are much more experienced than me. Please if you need additional info or clarification,...
Hi DaneA,
Thanks for getting back to me! I think i found the issue to my problem. It was my DHCP server now being able to route back to my pfsense box because I removed the default gateway from the dhcp server's nic interface.
I think I should be able to get it working now!
Thanks agani!
For me, I think DHCP L2 Relay is not needed because when you configured the 10.1.8.0 network on the Windows DHCP Server (the current setup), it works.
Kindly post a detailed diagram of your network setup showing how everything is connected. I'm sorry for I'm kinda confuse in laying out how is everything connected following what you have stated on your posts.

Hi DaneA and schumaku,
I have drawn a diagram of my setup physically and details. I hope it lessens to confusion, but let me know if you need anything else!
I attached it.
To keep it super simple, for my first attempt, I am: (I can work towards a more complicated setup after I get this simple setup working)
- creating a 1 VLAN on my PFsense box attached to LAN interface ix3. This VLAN is tagged as 2 and has IP of 10.1.11.1 / 24. The LAN ix3 interface is plugged into port 2 of my switch.
- On my switch config, switching -> VLAN -> VLAN configuration, I created a VLAN 2
- On VLAN membership, in VLAN 1 all ports are put as (U). On VLAN 2, Port 2 is tagged as (T) and Port 13 is put as (U), all other ports are blank. Port 13 has my laptop plugged into it but not getting an IP.
- On Port PVID Configuration, I set port 13 to PVID 2
- I disabled all DHCP relays and routing that I made earlier.
Thanks!
Or if you guys have any other suggestions of setting up my network, i'm open to that!
I'm just looking to seperating networks for workstations, servers and devices (like cameras and printers) on seperate subnets to increase security on the network.
I'm looking for the most secure, while also having the ability for subnets to talk to each other (or parts of them like dhcp). Even if it's not using vlans and requires additonal switches!
Let us try the following below:
Does your pfSense router supports DHCP L2 Relay Agent? If yes, then you will need to enable and configure it on the pfSense router.
On the XS716T web-GUI, go to System > Services > DHCP L2 Relay > DHCP L2 Relay Global Configuration. Select Enable and click Apply.
Go to System > Services > DHCP L2 Relay > DHCP L2 Relay Interface Configuration. Select the port members of VLAN 2. Then on both Admin Mode menu and 82 Option Trust Mode menu, select the port members of VLAN 2 and click Apply.
Make sure that ports 2 and 12 are set as tagged ports on all VLANs with PVID = 1. Port 13 should be set as untagged port to VLAN 2 with a PVID of 2.
