Brocade doesn't send radius accounting packets for Mac based VLANs. TAC
says this feature is slated for the 8.0.50 release which should be out by
end of year. I'm not sure why you are seeing "unknown" though. Normally
what we see is that they always show "online" after a successful auth then
never show offline. We've got about 90 of 250 ICX 7250s installed and they
work perfectly with packetfence otherwise. I made a couple light
modifications to the pf module to add support for radius acls and Lldp
controlled voice vlan.

Hello,
I’m proposing PacketFence 6 for use at a local community college. In our
pilot, we are using Brocade switch gear and I have configured the NAC and
switch according to the admin document. We are using MAC authentication and
the VLAN steering is working well with SNMP as the DEAUTH method. We are
having an issue with the node status online/offline always displaying
“unknown” regardless of actual state. It will not update. I have configured
the Brocade gear to use PacketFence as both auth and acct radius.
Will this field update just using MAC authentication? If so, has anyone
else run into this or have any tips on getting the status to work right?
Interestingly, if I select “online nodes” it will display only the truly
online nodes. If I select “offline nodes” it will display all nodes,
including the ones it displayed online. Despite this, all records indicate
“unknown”.
Thanks,
