InterVLAN routing with PFSense (Trunking between a physical port and a virtual port?)
I can grasp the concept of setting up an interface on a physical Cisco router to have subinterfaces, each with their own subnet IP given as a default gateway to each VLAN on a physical switch, and having a trunking port live between the ports between router and switch. What I have a problem grasping is making that happen between one of our 2810-48g that will be hosting two or three VLANs and a virtual machine running PFSense on a Dell Server running Server 2012R2. I know how to set up VLANs on a PFSense instance, I think I'm just confused on trunking from a physical port on a physical switch to a virtual NIC on a virtual machine... Does that make sense?

Re: InterVLAN routing with PFSense (Trunking between a physical port and a virtual port?)
I guess you refering to the cisco "router on a stick" concept
On linux / BSD (as your pfSense is) the concept is the same you just create a subinterface on top of your physical one.
ex. eth0.99 will create a vlan 99 tagged subinterface where you can assign an IP inside the according subnet of vlan 99

on linux you might have to additionally install the package vlan or dot1q and test if the kernel module can be loaded
but pfsense already has it
