Answering myself here:

I subscribed to the github issue about this (https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/issues/4573) I read the latest update from Fabrice that says that not even HE is able to get the combination to work with out-of-band VLAN enforcement.

Next best stop I guess: inline setup like we are already running now, but with a routed inline network -> no NAT on packetfence.

The whole idea is to expose individual wifi clients to our sophos XG, and do NAT there, in order fully utilize sophos intrusion/virus/reporting capabilities.

There is a packetfence FAQ item about that:

Comment the line %%nat_postrouting_inline%% in conf/iptables.conf. Restart 
PacketFence. At this point packets are routed out.

But the inline ZEN quick guide says:

It’s also possible to specify a network that will be routed instead of using 
NAT by adding in conf/networks.conf an option nat=no

Goal: having an inline wifi network in the range 192.168.54.x/24, but to have sophos XG do the NAT-ting.

Anyone with knows how to configure avoiding NAT, routing wise..? How to configure packetfence inline interface IP address, inline dhcp, gateway for inline clients, etc?

Hi,

We would like to ask for some info. :-)

We have been running packetfence with captive portal for our wifi in inline mode for years. We would now like to upgrade to out-of-band VLAN enforcement, using our unifi APs and our onsite-controller, while keeping the packetfence captive portal.

I am having a hard time understanding everything involved.

We have read the pf docs (https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Network_Devices_Configuration_Guide.html#_ubiquiti_2) about the captive portal and secondly about VLAN enforcement. We have also read many posts and dialogues on github and the unifi forums.

So, before trying a PoC, I would like to ask here:

What is the recommended way to setup this combination: packetfence 9.1, unifi controller 5.12, Out_of_band VLAN enforcement and the captive portal.

Perhaps to complicate things or not: we are *not* running unifi switches, but regular HP Procurve. Not sure if that matters..?

Are many people here doing this? Does anyone perhaps have some notes for us to read? Do's, don'ts, etc... It seems also that there has been a lot of development going on on this subject. (for example: https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/issues/4573)

Are the instructions here https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Network_Devices_Configuration_Guide.html#_ubiquiti_2  still up-to-date?

Any information would be appreciated :-)

Thanks!

MJ
