Hello,
We have two pf instances running 7.4.0 on Debian 9, both recently upgraded
from 7.3.0. They both have been running packetfence since 6.5.0.
In both cases, they have the following in pf.conf that has been retained
over the upgrades:
[fencing]
#
# trapping.redirtimer
#
# How long to display the progress bar during trap release. Default value is
# based on VLAN enforcement techniques. Inline enforcement only users could
# lower the value.
redirtimer=30s
Since upgrading to 7.4.0, we now see a warning when using the "Perform
check-up" function in the admin GUI that states *WARNING: unknown
configuration parameter fencing.redirtimer*
A quick review of the upgrade doc did not reveal any steps related to this
change, but we do note that this setting seems to now exist with a
different name with the same description in pf.conf.defaults shown below.
# captive_portal.network_redirect_delay
#
# How long to display the progress bar during trap release. Default value
is
# based on VLAN enforcement techniques. Inline enforcement only users could
# lower the value.
network_redirect_delay = 20s
It looks like it is a legacy option that possibly changed sections twice
(trapping->fencing->captive_portal) and names once
(redirtimer->network_redirect_delay) and was not modified in the upgrade
scripts cleanly along the way.
We are just removing the section from our pf.conf, but noting here in the
off chance that was in error and/or the intent was to have it cleaned up in
the upgrade scripts for other users.
cheers,
Ian
