Ok all… had a setup back for a few hours today and broke scale/DHCP. I got it back but need some help.
I have the following hardware.
R730xd
e5-2690
768 gb ram
Signle Intel NIC daughterboard (2 x 1gB 2 x10 GB SFP)
TrueNAS Scale 24.10.0.2
(GPUs, coral TPU, m.2 for NVMEs)
I’m running multipe VM’s:
Plex
HA OS
PFSense
Frigate
MQTT
… plus a couple others
I’m trying to split my networks out into VLANs
5 - Management
10 - IOT
20 - IOT with Internet
30 - Cameras
40 - Media
50 - Guest
60 - Work
Unifi is running in docker compose via Dockge
I tried setting up vlans via pfsense and setting up ID’s via Unifi. I spent a few hours investigating DHCP server and settings tyring to figure out why it wasn’t working and went down a rabbit hole associated with DHCP snooping on Unifi…
I then realized that I think it’s because PFSense gets a VirtIO passed to it for both WAN and LAN and that maybe the VLAN Tagging isn’t making it’s way to it. I then tried to create VLANS in the Truenas Scale Networking locatino and broke everything… I had to rollback, disconnect power and then reboot in the latest version to get it working… (not sure why this worked).
Anyway, is VLAN tagging not able to be passed via virtIO?
I created interfaces and assigned them via PFSense. I then setup their DHCP servers and setup firewall rules.
In Unifi I setup the same vlans and deinfed the ID’s that matched PFSense. I setup the ssid’s, switch ports and so forth. Deleted my DHCP static routing and started moving things overs. I was unable to move anything over. 0 DHCP servers were being recognized in packets on PFSense… when joining VLAN SSID’s IP addresses were being assigned that were not in any addressed range via DHCP, no DNS was being identified and I was unable to ping naything from any devices.
Just looking for some help before I loose my mind tyring to redo it. Spent my whole day with 0 success.
