I installed PF 4.5.1 and it does not have this problem; it automatically 
registers the hosts as expected. Is this a known issue with 5.x pfsetvlan? I 
would like to move to 5.x but can't due to our use of these switches.

Subject: [EO]Re: [PacketFence-users] Registration mode on Nortel ERS 5500

Upon further inspection, it looks like pfsetvlan is not able to get the MAC of 
the ifIndex. In the packetfence log, I see:

WARN: couldn't get MAC at ifIndex 465.
    This is a problem. (pf::Switch::_getMacAtIfIndex)

However, when I do:

pfcmd_vlan -switch <ip> -fIndex 465

I get the correct MAC address. Any ideas?

Subject: [EO][PacketFence-users] Registration mode on Nortel ERS 5500

Hello, I have been testing PacketFence and ran across an issue with a Nortel 
ERS 5500 (FW 6.x) stack that we have. I have it configured as a routed network 
in registration mode, but while it is getting the hostname, MAC, IP, and DHCP 
fingerprint, it is not automatically registering the host. There is also no 
location history for this device, and when I click the re-evaluate access 
button, I get:

Error! The access couldn't be reevaluated.

The SNMP settings have all been configured as well as the other MAC security 
settings from the device administration guide, although I am not sure this is 
necessary for non-production modes.

Can anyone provide some insight into why hosts are not being automatically 
registered?

Thanks

Christian
