Hello Benjamin,
i will take a look but we probably need to add a configuration parameter
in the switch config (like enable multihost) and if it's enable then
don't close the previous location log entry.
Only close the locationlog when the device move or when packetfence
receive a accounting stop.
It's not something really complicate to code, i will send you a patch soon.
Regards
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
thanks for your help. I forgot to mention that I have already tried
turning on multihost, which did not change the behaviour. I turned it
back of though because I did not notice any change and didn't know
what this setting changes in the background.
As I mentioned, the funny thing is that the issue I experience only
arrises when I have multiple devices on a port that have different
roles assigned.
Benjamin

Hello Benjamin,
it looks that this is what you need
https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/pull/2034
<https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/pull/2034>
it's in PacketFence since the version 7.0, can you try to enable
advanced.multihost and retry ?
Regards
Fabrice

Hello everyone,
from reading up I am aware my setup is not officially supported, BUT
it works on our equipment with one caveat I would love to get some
information on.
We have a lot of offices equipped with workgroup switches connected
to (Aruba) HP 2920-48Gaccess switches. The access switch is able to
provide multiple vlans per port and separation of clients does work.
For example I can have 1 client on the workgroup switch being able to
access the registration vlan and another client accessing production
network, all controlled by mac authentication and the radius-reply by
Packetfence.
The problem is that in the situations where I have multiple vlans on
that one access switch port, Packetfence closes locationlog entries
for some of the nodes and no more switch port information is
available, thus reevaluating access or restarting of switch ports
does not work when changing role or deleting a node. If all clients
on the workgroup share the same role / vlan I can see the switchport
details and the before said access re-evalution works / the
switchport restarts when changing node role. (off course all clients
loose connectivity for the moment, but this is acceptable)
I would like to understand which procedure triggers this behavior and
if there is any chance that I can get this working?
Thanks in advance
Benjamin
