DNS is defined in the Windows scope, which is passed to vlans via the relay. Yes the way we have dns configured for some networks (such as wlan) points to windows which has pfsense as the forwarder which runs pfblocker etc.
3:09 In here DNS servers IP is pointing to .254 which is your pfsense IP address? 19:20 in Windows box default gateway has .253 which you said it's pointing to the pfsense box, Im a little confused here.
Windows Server is 10.1.10.254, which is handing out dhcp to the various vlans and also handles dns which then forwards to pfsense which is on 10.1.10.253 which is also the default gateway
In this scenario scopes are simply defined on the DHCP server, which is oblivious to the vlan id. When defining the vlan on the router and it's subnet, the dhcp relay or helper requests address from the windows dhcp server and distributed them to the clients.
Yes absolutely you can use pfsense built in dhcpd or a switches dhcp server. The auto voice is a feature of the switches and the phones. We use the dhcp and auto voice built into cisco switches with pfsense as the router.
US-24-250 For a 24 port PoE depending on how much power you need. US-24 is about half the price but not PoE sp you'd need PoE injectors on everything. Depends on your budget
I have a 4 port pc engines with pfsense installed. I have proxmox attached to 1 port and a unifi uap-ac-lite attached to another port. I would like the same VLANS to go down these 2 ports. Is this possible or am I going to have to buy a switch and have all VLANs down 1 port
i have so many questions but this has been very informative! thank you!!
It can take a bit to get your head around this stuff :) glad you found it useful thanks for the feedback 👍
G'day, so you're not pointing dns at windows? is this done via unbound on pfsense for the sheridan.local ?

I didn't understand, how How can I identify VLAN ID in Windows DHCP server, by scopo.

Thank you!!
Glad you found this helpful, thanks for taking the time to leave feedback! Much appreciated.
Would this be possible using the pfSense built-in DHCP server instead of a windows server?

@@sheridans May I know what model of cisco switch?
I was using a Cisco SG300-28PP, now using a unifi switch which works fine also
@@sheridans Im using unifi AP as well, what model of unifi switch at least 24 port do you recommend?

Do you need vlans? Bridge the ports? Can always create vlans on a bridge
Sheridan Computers I have bridged the ports. How do I add the vlans to the bridge. The bridge isn’t available to select only the interfaces. Thanks
I am not in front a pc atm, but once you create the bridge. Go to interfaces, should be an option to add the bridge as an interface
Did you get it working?
No. You don’t seem to be able to add vlans to a bridge. You can only add them to a single interface.
