@Jarhead said in DHCP on Port vs VLAN:
Keep in mind, you're sharing the bandwidth between all of them.
Yep. I have 2 vlans that will benefit from not sharing and several that won't have enough load to matter.
So my physical port 3 with the .3.1 and .30.1 vlan DHCP are plugged into a switch port that is configured with VLANs 1 and 30. The PVID on that switch port is the default VLAN 1.
Would you recommend removing the default VLAN on the Netgear switch port or set a different PVID?
The switch is a Netgear GS316EPP in Advanced 802.1Q VLAN mode if that matters. I think this mode assigns the default VLAN as the PVID to all ports.
One other question related to the default VLAN, is there ever a reason to define a VLAN 1 in pfSense on the physical ports?
@Jarhead said in DHCP on Port vs VLAN:
As for the AP's, you would be better off trunking a switchport to bring multiple vlans to them. Would work either way but chances are your switch would provide POE to power the AP's. Makes more sense.
I agree. In my early configs I ran the unifi with its vlans trunked direct off a 2100 physical port. Since then I moved that traffic to a trunk off the pfSense → switch → unifi.
