Hi Nicolas,

thanks, that appeared to work now!
I have configured Packetfence for inline enforcement and all services start without difficulties or errors.

However, on the inline layer 2 network, I cannot seem to be able to get the DHCP server to work.
I have configured the network in question as follows:

IPv4: 192.168.42.1 / 24
IPv6: took the IPv6 of the management interface incremented by 1 / 64
Type: Inline Layer 2
Additional listening daemons: radius (it seems, dhcp, dns and portal do not need to be activated here? Other wise the type automatically changes to "Other")
Enable DHCP Server: Yes
Enable NAT: Yes (The "NATing mode disabled" warning shows up. IP forwarding is enable for v4 and v6, though.)
Split network by role: No
Reg. IP in CDIR: <Empty>

Using tcpdump, I can clearly see the DHCP request from my test-laptop coming in.
(Command I used: "tcpdump -i enp6s0 port 67 or port 68 -e -n -vvv")

My management interface is enp5s0 which is connected to my home router and my main PC from where I configure PF.
It uses 192.168.178.0/24 and is connected to the Internet.

The logs from "pfdhcplistener" tell me that there is something wrong though:
"Unable to initiate packet capture. Is enp6s0 an actual network interface? Unable to open VLAN proc description for enp6s0: No such file or directory". Since this is an actual network interface, do I need to tell the DHCP listener about that? Also: Would just putting everything into a VLAN and removing the frame at the next switch solve this issue?

Do I miss something or did I understand the inline setup wrongly?
Nearly none of our equipment is going to be manageable in terms of dynamic VLAN assignments / SNMP. We would only be able to use VLANs to separate into different networks.


Best regards

Magnus

On a fresh Debian 9.9 with PacketFence 9.0.1, I got this message too:

"packetfence.packetfence.org:443:0 server certificate does not include an ID which matches the server name"

But I'm able to reach web admin.

Based on your logs, your web admin is started, you should be able to reach IP by using https://mgmt_ip:1443/.

Try to install tcpdump on your server and check if you receive traffic from your computer.
