Hello listmates,
I am using PF in a VLAN-based environment. The VLAN's aremanaged by
independent switches, So is DHCP assignment on these VLAN's.
It all works fine with one exception: the captive portal for machines on my
VLAN's generates the following error message when I try to connect to it:
"Sorry!
Your computer was not found in the PacketFence database. Please reboot to
solve this issue."
This discussion from a few years back:
http://sourceforge.net/p/packetfence/mailman/packetfence-users/thread/[email protected]/
seems to suggest that the DHCP info (MAC, IP address, etc.) needs to be
communicated back to the PF server. One suggested approach is using
ip-helpers. My concern is that this may make me dependent on my PF server
for DHCP as my Cisco switches will be tied to it and unable to perform as
independent DHCP servers. Does anybody know if that is the case?
In short, I need to have a situation where routine IP infrastructure
functions (routing, DHCP IP address assignment, etc.) occur regardless of
the status of the PF server - even if it is down. Any advice on how to do
that and at the same time have a functional PF server with accessible
captive portal will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Boris.
