Hello José,

Please reply to the list, so that the conversation is visible to
others.

Well, it seems that all of us, here on the list, are to one degree or
another, struggling like you to get PF configured and working. I will
do what I can to help but I am far from an expert in the adaptation of
PF. The real 'gurus' would be the 'Inverse' guys who hang out here.

I got my switch working (it's an HP ProCurve 2600, by the way) by
following the setup recipes carefully and doing a lot of fiddling with
it all. No particular expertise there. I am also working with a
'direct' installation of PF, not the VM ; that probably doesn't make
much difference, except for setting up the VM's networking, I really
have no idea about that, except that it must be adequately described
in the ZEN manual. If you've followed the recipes there, it should be
ok ... Further (to complete the disclaimer) I work on the Unix side of
things and, beyond the most simple setup, really have no idea of how
it's done on Windows - i.e., I have no clue as to how VLANs might be
set up & configured in the Windows environment.

The advantage of posting to the list, rather than personal emails, is
obvious : others can then comment and fill in expertise/knowledge in
the (many) areas where I am ignorant.

So, please give an overview of what you are trying to do, your vlan
setup, etc. to begin with. Have you read the switch's recommended
configuration on page 21 of the PacketFence_Administrators' manual ?
Do you intend to have VOIP devices on your network ? Please sketch it
out.

Best,

Chris
