Netgate 7100 woes

Have a netgate 7100 and having some weird issues I can not figure out.

I have a cisco 3750x as a layer 3 switch.
several vlans on it.
2,10,88,200

I add the 7100 and made it the default GW for vlan 2 and added static routes for the other vlans back to the 3750 to get started.

now I want to segment this traffic so I enabled one of the 10g ports and created a L2 vlan on the 3750 < vlan3> for testing.
on the 7100 the 10g port i named opt110gLAN. I created vlan3 < 192.168.3.0/24 with its ip being .1> and assigned it to the opt1 port and set up a dhcp server.
Set the range for 192.168.3.20 - 100 network is a /24. test wired device would pick up and ip but it keeps getting .2 and not picking up where it should start < .20>

On the 3750, one of the 10g ports is trunked with all vlans allowed, stp is forwarding the vlans, no blocking.
my WLC < 5508> i added an ssid and pointed it to vlan 3 also and can not pick up an address at all. I know these 7100’s are a bit weird using the switch ports and vlans but I assumed using the 10g interface would be straight fwd.

any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I am using a fiber SFP+ not a copper one. Code: 26.03.1-RELEASE for the 7100

The 7100 VLAN tagging extra steps only apply to those other ports noted in the docs, not the SFP ports.

Simply mapping the VLAN to the SFP+ port as the parent interface should work fine.

I may need to use a differnet sfp, ON the switch side I show up/up have a link light. on the netgate side I get a no carrier now, though the main interface and the vlan are enabled. Im hoping there is not a problem with the ports, could be why i got this for $200. … arrg Hey if you have any customers getting rid of their working ones, i would not mind purchasing 1 or 2., would like to play with the HA setup.

Unfortunately I do not have any used ones for sale. With hardware being so crazy expensive people are really hanging on to things longer.
