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..

Regards,

Mark

Newbie here, excuse my ignorance:
1.  Does packetfence need to be the dhcp server for the network?
2.  Do all services need to be running?  Or can I use just the registration and 
radius functions?
3.  Can I enter a list of MAC addresses to "pre authenticate" machines?
Thanks, Jeremy
