Greetings list,
I appreciate this is something of a blast from the past, but I'm hoping
some of you will still have 1.2 systems in use and might be able to shed
some light on this.
Recently, one of our clients sublet part of their building to another
company, and asked me to split their LAN into separate VLANs so the new
tenant didn't have access to their LAN. They had decent HP managed
switches already, so that bit was easy. I created VLAN 200 on the
pfSense, tagged that port on the switches, and assigned the new tenant's
ports to use that PVID (untagged). All well and good.
However, the new tenant found that performance was erratic - certain
websites loaded instantly, but others wouldn't load at all. This
normally screams classic MTU problems, in my experience, but I normally
see these on weird WAN connections, not on the LAN.
Does anyone know if there are/were 'problems' with 1.2 and VLAN MTUs on
ALIX platforms (ethernet driver 'vr'), and whether an update to 1.3
might fix it? This is old hardware with only 128MB RAM, so jumping to
2.x is optimistic.
The site in question is a couple of hundred miles away from me, so 'try
it and see' isn't really an option in this case. :-)
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Chris
