Reducing networking equipment and moving my management network to a VLAN, and have a couple questions.
pfsense configuration of vlan seems straight forward
- create vlan (name, id, priority)
- assign to LAN interface (interface assignments)
- dhcp/static assignments
- couple firewall rules to allow me to access said vlan
Beyond that I can configure my switch to tag specific ports with vlan IDs.
However.
I noticed I could tag the management interface within IPMI with a VLAN ID.
Is there a reason to do it in both places or once vs. another in this scenario?
