Segregate one VLAN from rest of network

Networking

I was about to tell you that I did, but I rebooted just to make sure I had before, and the interface did show up after that. :slight_smile:

I’m still testing, but I do believe the worst is behind me now!

EDIT: And all is good! @bonnietwin 's post is the holy grail solution to zoned VLAN routing on IPFire!

  • At initial setup, set the Blue zone to None, and Ignore the warning about it.
  • In the WUI, set the Blue zone to Default, and VLAN, on the same NIC as your green network.
  • Reboot
  • Go back into setup in the console, and re-assign the Blue zone to the newly created hybrid interface (blue0@green0 in my case)
  • Back in the WUI, you’ll now have access to the Blue DHCP server, which you can configure as you see fit.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped with this!

***I definitely think we need to add this information to the various wikis; I had studied the documentation and forums quite a bit before asking and I for sure didn’t see any mention of having to go through an extra round of console setup in order to get a VLAN running along side a native NIC. This will be quite a boon to the many users who ask about VLAN setup in the forums.
