Well, I have a little experience with Xirrus ... about 7 years : )

We have about ~150 Xirrus arrays running with PF enabled.

My thoughts on Xirrus as a product ... that may be a conversation for another 
time.  Short, short version?  90/10 positive.

As to your problem, it looks like you have PF and Xirrus configured fine.  But 
without knowing more about the situation I cannot say for sure.

I would take PF AND Xirrus out of the picture for the moment and make sure a 
workstation on vlan 500 can get a DHCP address.  If that works then start with 
a station using only the Xirrus array, etc.

Also, what do the logs on the Xirrus array say?  Xirrus maps the RADIUS AV Pair 
for the vlan assignment to a group that must be declared on the array, if the 
group is not configured on the array the connection will not finish.

For example:  If you are assigning vlan 500 you should have a group called 500 
with the radius id and vlan number all set to 500 as well.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Xirrus and PF

Hi all -

Just curious if anyone out there is successfully using Xirrus with PF?  Also, 
does anyone have ANY experience with Xirrus that would like to share their 
thoughts on the product?

We are a Motorola shop -- but have three Xirrus demo units.  I think I've 
configured it to work properly with PF as I'm seeing this in the logs:

It appears that it's working since I'm getting an ACCEPT and a VLAN 
returned....I'm just not getting an IP on my client device:

You can see I go DISCOVER, OFFER over and over again -- never an ACK.

Is this an issue with PF -- or somewhere else?

Thanks!
