Bug #3270
closed
Disabling VLAN interface disables vlan port, enabling the interface doesn't enable the vlan port
100%
Description
Describing the steps to reproduce the effect I've noticed:
1. Interfaces: VLAN > Create VLAN on interface
2. Check in "ifconfig" -> the new vlan interface is up without the need of declaring and enabling it at "Interfaces: Assign network ports"
3. Interfaces: Assign network ports -> assign interface.
4. Interfaces: OPT1 -> Enable the new interface, no matter with or without IP
5. Interface in "ifconfig" is still up.
6. Now go to Interfaces: OPT1 and disable the interface.
7. Now the VLAN interface is really down - it's missing on ifconfig.
8. Cool, enable the interface again in Interfaces: OPT1
9. Although the interface is enabled, it is not really enabled (and it's not working) - missing on ifconfig.
No matter if you keep enabling or disabling the interface, it stays down.
The workaround is:
1. Interfaces: VLAN -> Click on VLAN Edit button
2. Then just click Save, no changes are needed
3. The VLAN interface is up again!
Best regards

OS interfaces are still created and up in ifconfig after the VLAN ports arecreated at Interfaces: VLAN.
Assigning an interface to the VLAN port - em1_vlan2 is still is still up, although it's not enabled in Interfaces>OPT1.
Enabling the interface at Interfaces>OPT1.
Disabling the interface at Interfaces>OPT1 - the interface disappears from ifconfig, it's really disabled :)
Enabling the interface at Interfaces>OPT1 - enables the interface successfully - so that's the only part which is fixed.
Just to be clear:
I believe creating VLAN port should not bring up an interface at all.
Assigning an interface to a VLAN port also should not bring the interface up.
The interface should be brought up only after it's enabled at Interfaces>...
Best regards,
Todor

The issue was fixed. What you are proposing now is a change of the way pfSense creates the interface. What you already did when create ticket #3275.
