Thanks for all the help, it's working now. In case anyone else has the same problem with Packetfence ZEN running in VMWare ESXi
-I'm running ESXi 7 on a supermicro server -Installed packetfence zen -Only one virtual nic is assigned to PF -My issue was not being able to see the IP addresses of my nodes in PF -The problem was not PF, the problem was the port group assigned to the PF server in ESXi was set to VLAN 0, which turns off vlan tagging, I changed the setting to 4095 which turns vlan tagging on. -In PF I created VLANs for each of my production VLANs, assigned each of them an IP in their respective network and set the correct subnet mask, set the Type to "DHCP Listener" I left the additional listening daemon field blank since the Type is already set to "DHCP Listener" I can now see the IPs of my nodes in PF ________________________________ From: Enrique Gross <egr...@jcc-advance.com.ar> Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2021 7:36 PM To: David Moore <dave.mo...@outlook.com> Cc: packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net <packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net>; egr...@jcc.com.ar <egr...@jcc.com.ar> Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Nodes not showing IP addresses Dave Hi, you could try to add vlan interfaces from the GUI, assign IP from the appropriate IP segment, and configure your switch port as a trunk with all the vlans you want PF to run dhcp-listener daemon.
