Hi Jose,

1) I got PF running correctly some time ago but now it's only working in the ports it already knows the MAC addresses of the connected devices, if i connect these or new devices to a new switch port, the switch generates the port-security traps, but PF does nothing and the new nodes doesn't appear on the wed GUI. No entry in packetfence log neither.
Do you receive the trap on the packetfence server? Maybe you have some wrong iptables rules or a firewall somewhere that blocks the trap. If PF does not receive the SNMP traps, it will do nothing...


2)I edited custom.pm <http://custom.pm> file in order to asign vlans that correspon exactly with the name of the categories (that will be the vlan numbers), so i don't need to edit the customs vlans in switches.conf neither write a lot of "ifs" in the code, one for each category.
The new code is:

my $correctVlan=1;

if (ref($node_info) eq 'HASH' && defined($node_info->{'category'}) && lc($node_info->{'category'}) > 1) {

        $correctVlan = lc($node_info->{'category'});
        }
        return $correctVlan;
The provided code is wrong. Did you even look the example provided in the default file? No need to verify that node_info is a HASH, and categories are sent using the string name, not the id. See the example in the code :

#    # custom example: admin category
#    # return customVlan5 to nodes in the admin category
# if (defined($node_info->{'category'}) && lc($node_info->{'category'}) eq "admin") {
#        return $switch->getVlanByName('customVlan5');
#    }


3) I would also like to know if it's possible to delete a node in the web GUI that it is not connected anymore.
Yes, but under some circumstances. The node must be inactive in PF and all iplog, locationlog entries need to be closed. Basically, it does not happen very often. Just keep it there and edit the note field with "NOT CONNECTED" instead.

Thanks a lot for your help!

José
