Good day I am trying to setup packetfence to act as a captive portal on a routed network. I have many different end user sites which all sit on my routed service provider network. I want to run the packetfence server centrally in conjunction with my Ruckus virtual SmartZone controller as the wireless and captive portal solution.
My problem is that Packetfence seems to want DHCP requests either tunneled to itself, or forwards by means of a DHCP relay, so that Packetfence itself can be the DHCP server to all devices which will authenticate to it. I really need the DHCP function to remain on each respective local DHCP server at each site. So my question is, is packetfence just wanting to know the MAC address related to each IP address for internal authentication purposes? Or does packet fence actually require itself to be the DHCP server? Should the former be true, how do I set it up to work this was without Packetfence acutally being the DHCP server? OR, if the latter is true, then how can I set Packetfence DHCP server up to know which pool/gateway/DHCP options to offer based on the SSID which the device came through, as I need to offer devices the correct DHCP settings on their own subnet based on the site that they are at. Please let me know if anything is unclear so that I can clarify.
