VLAN ID Setup Guide : PFSense Routers


In addition to your PPPoE login details when connecting your Aquiss broadband connection, across certain networks/products that we offer, you will also need to supply the VLAN ID. The guide below provides a basic guide to show you how to add these details on PFSense hardware.

A special thanks to our customer, James Wolf, who has created this guide.
