Thanks for the answer Ludovic, I’ll look into that feature. Would this work with VLAN enforcement though? We have multiple VLANs on these switches so I was hoping that PF could manage the VLANs on the second switch like it would on the core switch. If not I think we would have to make the switch ports be Inline enforcement is that right?

If you want to control a port with a switch on it, Cisco has a mode called authentication multi-auth that authenticated all the Mac address on the port. HP/ Aruba has it as well.

I don’t see any documentation on using managed switches in between the core and users. Are managed switches supported/able to have VLANs managed by Packetfence, or would we have to use the inline enforcement? The switches we currently use are a bit outdated so we would upgrade if needed if there are models that are known to work with Packetfence.
