One is that somehow I can not define off-limits ports on my switches. The
switches.conf file instructions (uplink ports) seems to have no effect and I
can not figure out how to tell Cisco not to generate SNMP alerts on them either.
What do you mean by “off-limits”. If you want to prevent PacketFence from doing
anything when receiving SNMP traps from specific ports, it is “uplink ports”
that you want to look into. You need to make sure to use the ifIndex.
The other problem is, how do I get PF to know that a node has been unplugged?
The SNMP on the switch does its job, the trap gets fired, traffic communicated
back to the PF server - yet it still lists the node as active! Has anybody
figured that one out?
Active / Inactive depends on the DHCP lease time...
Cheers!

Hello listmates,
I finally got my PF configuration going - many thanks to many of you. Now I
have just a few glitches to work through.
