Hi Max,
I tried it last year and there were (at the time) some serious limitations.
There was no way to reauthenticate, disconnect or otherwise change the state of
a connected device from PacketFence (or any other NAC for that matter) after
the initial authentication/authorization.
There was no API of any kind to provide that functionality. No SNMP, RADIUS,
SSH, Telnet, carrier pigeon or anything to send information from PF to the
Meraki asynchronously.
That meant that you could only set the authorization at the time of the initial
authentication and you could not affect it thereafter. So no violations, no
change of VLAN after the fact, no captive portal in a registration VLAN etc.
I spoke with some people both at Meraki and Cisco and they acknowledged the
issue.
They said it would be remediated at some point in the future without committing
on a date.
Perhaps things have changed since, but that was the case in spring 2014.
Regards,
