PfSense + Omada Setup / MGMT VLAN

Happy Monday! I'm looking for some advice on moving my Omada setup over to a management VLAN.

My goal is to have all infrastructure (switch, APs, controller, etc.) live on VLAN 10 (10.xxx.10.0/24).

Current setup is:
ISP modem → pfSense (on Protecli) → Omada switch → Omada controller (running on Proxmox) → Omada APs

What I did was preconfigure everything behind the ISP router first so I could do a warm swap. The controller already has a static IP on VLAN 10, and all VLANs are configured in pfSense.

The problem comes when I swap out the ISP router and bring pfSense online — the Omada switch shows as disconnected in the controller. From what I can tell, the switch is still sitting on the default untagged LAN (10.xxx.0.0/24), so it can’t reach the controller on VLAN 10 anymore.

What’s the cleanest way to move the switch over to VLAN 10?

For reference, here’s my VLAN layout:

  • LAN: 10.xxx.0.0/24 (default / untagged)
  • VLAN 10: 10.xxx.10.0/24 Infrastructure
  • VLAN 20: 10.xxx.20.0/24 Lab
  • VLAN 30: 10.xxx.30.0/24 Trusted WiFi
  • VLAN 40: 10.xxx.40.0/24 Guest WiFi
  • VLAN 50: 10.xxx.50.0/24 IoT
  • VLAN 60: 10.xxx.60.0/24 Cameras
  • VLAN 70: 10.xxx.70.0/24 TVs / Entertainment
  • VLAN 80: 10.xxx.80.0/24 Kids

Appreciate any help!
