    @vasileiosg,

     

    Since you have confirmed that the PC where the ESXi 6.5 host which runs a virtual Sophos UTM 9.4 appliance is a VLAN-aware device, have you checked if tagging is enabled on the physical LAN adapter of the PC?  Kindly check this link as a guide on how to check it on your PC.

     

    Also, kindly post images of your actual network setup that especially shows the PC where the ESXi 6.5 host which runs a virtual Sophos UTM 9.4 appliance is connected to the GS108Ev3.

Please note that the configuration is NOT as we discussed. That is because people in the house want to use it and i am working on it only in the nights when i don't have to keep the baby. When it is not working exactly as it should, i reverse the configuration until the next moment i will have an hour in my hands to work on it.

 

In practice i want to have 3 networks:

 

1) where the internet from my router is coming in and it can be picked up only by the UTM running on the ESXi. Therefore, port 1 (ESXi) and port 8 (Router) i am planning to leave them on VLAN1/PVID1.

2) my nas boxes (physical boxes), a media player (physical boxes) and other services that i am running on ESXi can all communicate on VLAN2/PVID2. They all need to have the UTM9 as their gateway.

3) Wi-fi users where they will get a DHCP from the UTM9 and have the UTM9 as their gateway. They will be VLAN3/PVID3.
