Hi Jason, I ended up not registering the USB-C dock itself. It turned out that the Lenovo ThinkPad I was connecting to the dock has a BIOS option to do MAC passthrough, so the internal MAC address of the laptop is presented to the dock. This way I can avoid registering the dock itself.

This is one of the problems with MAB. I'm not sure there is a workaround short of clearing the registration rapidly after a device is disconnected. And it may be very difficult to detect that if the port stays up when the computer is disconnected. 802.1x would help in this situation, if that's something you can deploy. -- --------------------------- Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold [email protected] --------------------------- "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ PacketFence-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users
