Hi,
so I've deployed my Packetfence ZEN on VMware, i've followed the
documentation :

https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Installation_Guide.html#_going_through_the_configurator

and I've reach the testing part 5.7. Testing
<https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Installation_Guide.html#_testing>
If I'm correct,
1) by default ZEN is configured to use NAT on VM (The first time I open the
.ova, the network configuration was set to NAT),
2) by default the IP address of the eth0 interface is set to a static
address

When I try to connect a client (a Windows 10 laptop) to my 2960 switch, the
authentication prompt popped up, I entered both valid and invalid
credentials, but the authentication failed,

the documentation said :
*"To see what’s going on from PacketFence, click on the Auditing tab from
PacketFence’s admin interface. You should see an entry for the MAC address
of your Microsoft Windows 7 endpoint" *

but when I checked, there was nothing there..
My understanding is the switch has no way to communicate with the pf server
in the VM since it is using NAT..

When I tried to change it to bridged connection to make the PF bridge my
PC's ethernet connection, the IP address of the PF eth0 didn't change, so I
change it to a valid IP address from my LAN segment, and I cannot access
the configurator, or the admin page..

Can anyone help me please..? maybe I missed something or there is
additional configuration I need for it to work?

Thanks in advance
