Hi, If we have a VNS which has an unauthenticated role which uses a topology in one vlan and an authenticated role which uses a topology in another vlan, how is DHCP handled by the client?
Just had it now where when I authenticated to the internal captive portal, the client didn't release/renew DHCP after successful authentication, so although i was successfully auth'd by the captive portal and the controller (reports / view active clients) showed I'm on the correct role/topology, the IP on my Mac was still showing as the IP I had in the unauthenticated topology. On my mac, when I manually renewed the IP, it worked. On another note, is it possible to do fall-thru authentication (for our visitors)? ie. Is it possible to have a single VNS (and therefore just one SSID) which will attempt to auth against RADIUS using mac address first (for regular visitors who we trust) and if that fails, then it'll dump them to the captive portal, which then if they auth correctly they will get access? Or must I use two VNS's and therefore 2 SSID's to achieve this?
