VLANs set up correctly?

Hello!

 

I have an AT&T Uverse box attached on a dedicated VLAN (10) to a Netgear GS308T (that switch is connected to a Netgear GS105Ev2 swtich) behind a pfSense firewall, and it's unable to connect. It won't pull down a dynamic IP address (DHCP server is on the firewall) or anything. I just wanted to make sure my VLAN configuration is correct:

 

GS105Ev2:

Port     VLAN1
1          U
2	   U
3	   U
4	   U (pfSense is connected here)
5	   T (To GS308T)

Port	 VLAN10
1          -
2	   -
3	   -
4	   U (pfSense is connected here)
5	   T (To GS308T)

GS308T:

Port     VLAN1
1          U
2	   U
3	   - (DVR is connected here)
4	   U
5	   U
6	   U
7	   U
8	   T (To GS105Ev2)

Port     VLAN10
1          -
2	   -
3	   U (DVR is connected here)
4	   -
5	   -
6	   -
7	   -
8	   T (To GS105Ev2)

'U' indicates untagged, 'T' indicates tagged and '-' indicates removed.

 

Is my configuration correct, or is there a problem? If this configuration is correct, then my problem is with the firewall. I've also tested the DVR connection with a laptop, and it couldn't connect either.

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

  • Two Untagged VLAN on the port to the pfSense sounds wrong... one should be tagged IMHO.

      That worked! I changed the pfSense connection to 'Tagged' on VLAN10. Thanks!
