After adding a new switch you need to bounce several of the Pf services, BUT if you bounce them all you will close the location logs on all the active connections and cause a heck of a lot of problems for your users : )
So, I wrote a little script that bounces the necessary services without closing the location logs. I named it PacketFence_Warm_Reset. It works in v3.5.1 and after as far as I know. After you make your modifications through the webGUI or in your conf files just run this script to apply the updates. PFv4 will probably make this script useless but it has worked wonders for me for a long time now. Here is the script: #! /bin/bash echo echo echo Restarting pfsetvlan Service ... /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd service pfsetvlan restart echo echo echo Restarting NAMED Service ... /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd service named restart echo echo echo Restarting RADIUS Service ... /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd service radiusd restart echo echo Restarting Apache Service ... /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd service httpd restart echo echo Restarting SNMPTrapD Service ... /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd service snmptrapd restart echo echo echo DONE! -----Original Message----- From: Francois Gaudreault [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2013 10:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Usage Questions On 2013-04-25 4:20 PM, Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold wrote: > - - How do you delete nodes?

There is a flag in the configuration to allow cleanup. You can delete unregistered nodes that are older than X days,months,etc. Check in documentation.conf for the exact config. -- Francois Gaudreault Architecte de Solution Cloud | Cloud Solutions Architect [email protected] 514-629-6775 - - - CloudOps 420 rue Guy Montréal QC H3J 1S6 www.cloudops.com @CloudOps_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
