After you assign the VLAN Tag ID to the physical network interface, you need to "create" a new IP interface from the "Interface Assignments" page; you can do so by clicking the "+" sign on this page. Then only you can assign IP address to this VLAN as well as associated DHCP server. DO BEAR IN MIND THAT IF YOUR AP DOES NOT SUPPORT 802.1Q, IT WILL NOT WORK; AND YOU WILL NEED TO ADD A VLAN-CAPABLE SWITCH BETWEEN YOUR AP AND THE PFSENSE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THIS. Kelvin

I have one subnet for the LAN 192.168.0.1/24 and i want one for the wireless that routes computers on the WiFi connection to the the WAN but not to the LAN. I have gone into the interfaces tab and entered a vlan associated with the LAN interface sis0. Which is the correct way to assign an IP subnet to this VLAN via the web GUI. This is how I did this. I went it via the shell and entered ifconfig vlan0 10.1.10.1 <http://10.1.10.1/> . Is this correct Is there anything else I need to do. I am confused about vlans and bridging interfaces and why a bridge is needed. Can anyone help explain this? Thanks
