Hi,
I've been asked to evaluate PacketFence and the switches used at this site
(Cisco Catalyst 500) are not on the supported hardware list. A quick
review of the mailing list archive suggests that the HCL is understandably
limited to the switches the developers have been able to get hold of.
Reading through the admin guide it looks like PacketFence can work by
receiving a SNMP trap when the port state changes, querying the MAC address
in that trap, then responding with a SNMP write to change the VLAN of the
port. Looks like there are improved MAC Auth and 802.1X support as well,
but I suspect these switches are unlikely to support those features.
Anybody had any luck with Cisco Catalyst 500 switches or other similar
switches in the family? I'm still trying to get a switch out of the
production environment to test.
Regards,
Tim
