PfSense: VLAN configuation

cn flag

I have some problem in making VLAN working. My configuration is pretty simple: I have an esx host where I have created a port group for VLAN10. On that host I have pfsense and a windows VM . PfSense has two networks: one on the LAN and another on the VLAN10, while the windows VM as only one netwok card on the VLAN10. The switch has VLAN10 tagged on the ports where the esx host is connected to, and there is one port, using for testing purpose, that is untagged on the VLAN10, where I have a laptop connected. The laptop do not get any IP as well as the windows VM, even if the DHCP is enabled on VLAN10. If I set a static IP on VLAN 10 both on laptop and on the windows VM they can ping each other and that let me think that the switch configuation is working fine, but both cannot ping pfsense on its VLAN10 interface. I think that the problem should be somewhere on the pfsense configuration, but I cannot understand where. Could you please help me finding it out?

Thank you very much in advance.

I have changed the configuration: I have created a 4095 portgroup and assigned to pfsense a network card on that port group and let the VLAN configured in pfsense, but still does not work

Have you set the vNIC in pfSense as a plain NIC? Do not use any VLAN tagging within the VM, it's all done from the ESXi port group.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
