My Clients dont get any IP Informations.
I'm assuming you're writing about DHCP. I didn't find a way to enable
Packetfence as a DHCP-Server for a VLAN that is not registration.
I solved the problem by running another Debian VM providing DHCP and DNS
to the network. (You could do that on the packetfence server as well,
but I wouldn't go through the pain altering the packetfence installation
without need).
Do i need to configure the Switchport
where the packetfence server is connected as Trunk
If you want more than one VLAN connected to your packetfence (I guess
you want that) you have two options:
* connect a trunk (VLAN 4095 in a virtual VMware switch if I remember
correctly) to packetfence, configure the trunk as a network interface
and then create VLANs in the packetfence web interface
* connect one interface for each vlan untagged to packetfence and
configure each as a hardware interface inside packetfence
You can mix both methods. When I worked through this I found that the
VMware part can be quite challenging.
And do i need to
configure my Access Port where my test-client is connected as Trunk with
all VLANS too?
That depends on what you want to achieve and the kind of access point. I
set up a demo to show how this works in OpenWRT using hostapd which
allows to learn about the options.
Other hardware like Extreme, Cisco, Ruckus probably will work each a bit
differently (Network Device Guide).
Do i need to configure something spezial in VMware Workstation Player
other than my NICs as brided? How could i trobleshoot this problem?
I don't know much about VMware Player, but the internal network
abstraction might not transport VLAN tags as you expect (and in a demo
setup with a client running 802.1x maybe not the needed ethernet 802.1x
frames).
