Title: RE: [pfSense Support] VLAN setup

you typically would put all ports that are connected directly to a computer or other end user device as an Untagged port.  You then need to program your ports that connect to your router and any other switches as Tagged ports.  vlan 1 is typically used for management of the network devices and really should not be occupied by end users.  I hope this helps,

Again, I think my terminology is getting the better of me.

Lets say port 5 is in vlan 5, but you want it to be a trunk port, not
an access port, you still keep it in vlan 5, but you put vlans 6-10 in
your trunk statement.  The native vlan for the port is 5, the tagged
vlans are 6-10.  I can't speak to any switches other than Cisco and
even then it's not my job to configure them, I know enough to make it
work on the firewall side.
