Hi there,

I'm currently planning to use PacketFence to manage my wired networks.
I'm using Cisco 3560G and 4510-E. PacketFence works well with the first, but 
fails with the last because there is no way to reliably map Nas port to 
IfIndex. The mapping depends on the physical configuration of the switch (line 
cards, number of sups, number of ports on sups, etc).
One way to overcome the problem is to use CoA instead. I already tried to send 
CoA on my own, and I can confirm the switch supports it and works great. There 
is no need for IfIndex or NasPort, I can target session id, or mac address.
So, I wonder if I can make PacketFence send CoA also for this switches. 

The CoA should have the following information:

  Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:command=reauthenticate  <- Will send EAP-Start to 
host  
  Calling-Station-ID
= <MAC Address of host>
  OR
  Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:command=bounce-host-port" 
<- Will shutdown the port for some seconds
  Calling-Station-ID
= <MAC Address of host>
  
  Example:
  /bin/echo 
"Calling-Station-Id="00-55-44-33-22-11",cisco-avpair=\"subscriber:command=reauthenticate\""
  | /usr/bin/radclient -x 192.168.1.1:1700 coa useStrongSecret

Does anyone has some guidance?

Thanks.
