 ====== PFSense - Install pfSense - Create VLANs ======
+VLANs are assigned to a specific parent interface.
+The parent interface refers to the **physical interface** that will transfer the VLAN tagged traffic.
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  Historically the best practice was to leave the parent interface unassigned due to undefined, unpredictable or inconsistent behaviour by some hardware, depending on the manufacturer.
+There was a chance that tagged traffic could be stripped of its tags and end up allocated to the parent interface introducing a security risk.
+Nowadays, this should no longer be an issue, as the system ensures that only VLAN capable interfaces will be shown.  In this setup, all VLANs are configured against the **LAN** interface.
