Got it fixed.  For some reason there was an issue if the 127.0.0.1 client as 
left in the clients.conf for freeradius.  I commented it out and everything is 
working correctly now.

Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Issue in Packetfence 3.4.1

Hi Curtis,

First of all, you shouldn't remove the "default" switch (127.0.0.1). That being 
said, can you send us your switches.conf file. Is the 10.10.10.10 switch 
configured in it?

Thanks

Hello all,

I am having a small problem when installing pf 3.4.1.  What is happening is if 
I leave the default switch entry of 127.0.0.1 then I have a problem with radius 
authentication.  The error I get is below:


Tue Jul 17 15:57:16 2012 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address * 
port 1812 as server packetfence from unknown client 10.10.10.10 port 41323
Tue Jul 17 15:57:21 2012 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address * 
port 1812 as server packetfence from unknown client 10.10.10.10 port 41323
Tue Jul 17 15:57:26 2012 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address * 
port 1812 as server packetfence from unknown client 10.10.10.10 port 41323

If I remove the switch entry then radius authentication works fine, as detailed 
in a post I had found.  However If I try to register or unregister a node 
manually from with the web admin interface the commands are not sent to the 
switch and I have to manually either shut the port down, reboot the device, or 
unplug the network cable from the device to get the vlan to change.  The error 
from the packetfence log is below:


Jul 17 15:58:03 pfcmd(19118) ERROR: ERROR ! Unknown switch 127.0.0.1 
(pf::SwitchFactory::instantiate)
Jul 17 15:58:03 pfcmd(19118) ERROR: Can't instantiate switch 127.0.0.1! Check 
your configuration! (pf::enforcement::_vlan_reevaluation)


If I add 127.0.01 back as a network switch as  a packetfence device, making 
changes are again  pushed down to the switch via SNMP however radius stops 
working again if packetfence is restarted.  Has anyone ran into this issue and 
know what's going on?  I didn't have this issue in 3.3.  I did an upgrade but 
also have done a fresh install and the same problem persists.

Thanks for any help.
