Hi Jeremy, 1. Does packetfence need to be the dhcp server for the network?
No, you can keep your current production DHCP server. PF usually handles the DHCP for the registration and isolation networks 2. Do all services need to be running? Or can I use just the registration and radius functions? Your question isn't entirely clear - if you mean can you just use PF to register machines, without worrying about the additional stuff like SoH (State of Health), Nessus/OpenVAS vulnerability scanning etc then yes, absolutely. 3. Can I enter a list of MAC addresses to "pre authenticate" machines? Yes All of this is covered in the PacketFence Administration Guide, by the way.. http://www.packetfence.org/documentation/guides.html Regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Schubert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 07 March 2013 11:11 To: [email protected] Subject: [PacketFence-users] basic instalation questions Newbie here, excuse my ignorance: 1.
