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?

Thank you,

William

Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Using Managed Switches with VLAN Enforcement 
Downstream with Packetfence

Hello William,

PacketFence controls switch ports where users are plugged.

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.

Thanks,

Good morning All,

We are testing Packetfence on a Core switch and have gotten some good results, 
but most of our users are connected via managed switches downstream that then 
connect to the core. 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switches we currently use are a bit outdated so we would upgrade if needed if 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.

Thank you,

William
