I have tried this with version FreeNAS-8.3.0-RELEASE-x64 (r12701M) and FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64 (r11950), both have the same behavior.

To have a NIC with vlan tagging working, after to configure the tagging from GUI I have to use the command(ifconfig em1 up) to put the parent interface in a up state(this solution is not persistent) or configure an ip in the parent interface (for example 2.2.2.2/24).

Without any of the above procedures vlans do not work with Freenas, I have checked the documentation, and there is no reference about this.

Is there a way to make vlans working without the above workarounds?

Is there a way to set up the command "ifconfig em1 up" to be executed in the statup process? Thereby I do not need to configure the extra ip.

Best Regards

Put in "up", don't fill in any IP information or anything else for the interface. Seems remarkably like the command line solution eh :smile: It's also the same thing you have to do in FreeBSD to tell the system to bring up a vlan parent interface without also assigning it an IP address.
