Thanks Fabrice.

"But i have a question, if the device is reg then it's suppose to go on a 
production vlan, not the registration vlan ?!"

Yes this is exactly my issue. Devices are being setup and registered (through 
autoreg the first time they connect), however my onboarding software is having 
issues telling devices to forget the setup SSID, and so registered devices are 
frequently connecting to the setup SSID instead of the production SSID.

I know vlan_filters are also quite intensive work for the PF server, but I'm 
hoping that it's less work than having 500 devices sitting in the captive 
portal.

Can you see any reason why I shouldn't put this in place?

Cheers,
Andi

Hello Andy,

let's try this:
[reg_devices]
filter = node_info
operator = is
attribute = status
value = reg

[reg_network]
filter = ssid
operator = is
value = setup_wifi

[block_reg_devices:reg_devices&reg_network]
scope = RegistrationVlan
role = blocked

But i have a question, if the device is reg then it's suppose to go on a 
production vlan, not the registration vlan ?!

Regards
Fabrice

Now I have the vlan_filters in front of me, does this look doable?

[reg_devices]
filter = node_info
operator = is
attribute = status
value = reg

[reg_network]
filter = ssid
operator = is
value = setup_wifi

[block_reg_devices:reg_devices&reg_network]
role = blocked

Cheers,
Andi

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Registered devices sitting in captive portal

Hi all,
I'm still having a large problem with devices sitting in my captive portal, and 
as such using up a lot of PF resources. With others help on here I've setup a 
violation that I can trigger if I see a device sitting in there for too long, 
and I've managed to get any long term devices off the network in that way, but 
the main problem I'm getting is with devices that are setup and registered for 
my main SSID, however the setup SSID isn't forgotten on the device, which means 
that as users roam around the devices switch between networks frequently.

There are simply too many of these devices for me to capture and notify the 
users manually (20,000 registered devices, 3000 main SSID and 500 in setup SSID 
during peak times).

Is there a way, and is it advisable, to block a device from the registration 
network once it is registered? Perhaps using vlan filters? Something like 
(rough pseudo code sorry, I don't have the filters in front of me):

If
SSID = setup_network
device = registered

then
role = blocked

Then outside of vlan filters the blocked role assigns the vlan of -1 in 
switches.conf?

I know that if a device then need to get setup again they will need to contact 
our helpdesk to get them unregistered (I can't get status page working here), 
but at the moment I think that's a better solution than having the PF box run 
out of CPU during peak hours.

Cheers,
Andi
