I have a pfsense box and I am going to set up VLANs. Going to connect pfSense to a switch.
If device 1 talks to device 2 does any traffic go to the pfsense box or is it handled exclusively by the switch? I believe it is handled by the switch and not the pfSense box but I wanted to make sure.
The reason I am asking is because I would like to enable Snort on the pfSense box to monitor the LAN connection. However, I believe that if I do this, Snort will not catch any traffic going from VLAN 1 to VLAN 2 since I **think** that particular traffic will never reach the pfSense box.
