All questions you asked, yes. I did all of that. But the thing is it works now. There is protection that blocks the communication between switch 1 and switch 2. I'm not sure if its Loop Protection but all is fine now. Thank you everyone for answering and helping!

Is there a direct connection between switch 1 & 2? And if so, did you add all the VLANs (as tagged) to the switchports on both switches for those ports?
And did you create all VLANs on both switches?
I would first make sure that you can ping between clients on the same VLAN but on different switches.

There is not blocking happened on the firewall. It accepts the host and has an IP but the problem is I can't ping the devices at switch 1

Hi,
Hard to say with only this info what is wrong but i would start using the State Filter that you can find under Diagnostics on the pfSense and figure out if packets make it to the FW and what happens to them.

Hello,
Thank you for the response.
They are all tagged on the switch and configured correctly. I triple-checked them. All of my interfaces have a ruleset that allows all the traffic. But still I can't ping the host a switch 1 from switch 2. Is there anything I missing?

Hi,
That should just work fine but remember to check that you configured the pfSense correctly for the tagged VLANs and also that the firewall ruleset allows traffic. By default it will always block everything in the pfSense FW when new interfaces/vlans are created. Check that in Firewall -> Rules

Hello,
So currently, this is my setup.
I have pfSense as a firewall/router and 2 Aruba Switch 1960. The pfSense acts as the router. pfSense is tagged with the VLANs I created on the first switch, for which I have 6 VLANs.
I have a problem going on right now. So I made VLANs reachable or pingable with each other on the first switch. When I tried to connect a computer to the second switch and ping a computer at the first switch. It doesn't have a ping and it doesn't ping also the gateway, the switch and the pfSense firewall/router
Can someone help me what to do or guide how to fix this?
