Hi sallee,

First thank you very much for your reply. I did the configuration according
to your template. When i plug a new device switch goes to vlan 2. But
device dosent get a IP address from registration vlan. Wondering where i
should do the troubleshooting.

Before i go more deeper into configuration stuff could you please help me
to understand the basic behavior of the pf. I have below few concerns.

1 ) When i plug a new device to wired port what is the process actually
gone through it. I just need to identify the steps which involve for device
registration. I know there is a radius authentication with MAB. And then
switch should go to registration vlan according to snmp traps. Registration
vlan ip should assign to the device and we should able to get the
registration portal through web. If registration is success switch should
go to production vlan. otherwise it should go to isolation vlan.
2) Am i correct ? Other than pf switch configuration, do i need to do any
additional configuration on packet fence for device  ?
3) And lets assume i need to put my new device to vlan 10 if the
authentication success. where should i configure that information on the
packet fence web portal ?

I know this is kind a nerd question serious. But I i know i'm missing
something and i don't know what it is. Hope understating basics will guide
me to the exact problem. :)

Thank you very much for your valuable time.
