> 1) Why is a "Production VLAN" not mandated? Many users have multiple vlans that users can be put into, I have faculty/staff, students, guests, etc. Each gets put into a separate vlan with its own set of restrictions.
That's why when you setup a new role in PF you will find a vlan designator available for that role for every switch in your config. > How does one designate it on the switch level as a VLAN to put > production-ready devices in... In the web admin GUI you can go to config -> switches and select the switch you want. under the ROLES section you will finde blanks for each role a node on that switch can be assigned. put the vlan id on the corresponding role. When the node's access is evaluated they will be assigned a role, PF will the lookup the vlan based on the combination of role and switch id. Viola! Hope that helps.

So here is how I understand things. "Registration VLAN" is where newly plugged in devices are assigned, until they are deemed secure and allowed to join the production network. "Isolation VLAN" is where suspect devices (those believed to be virus-infected, for instance) are relegated to. "Management VLAN" is a network used for management purposes (to communicate to switches, etc.) Here is what I don't quite understand. 1) Why is a "Production VLAN" not mandated? 2) How does one designate it on the switch level as a VLAN to put production-ready devices in (i.e., OK, MAC address so-and-so on port 10 is good, switch it to the "Production VLAN" and let is access the internet)? Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers, Boris. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
