Hello, I am currently in the process of configuring PacketFence as an inline solution, aiming for devices to register on the captive portal for data capture. Here's a brief overview of my setup:
I am utilizing two ports on a switch. One port connects to PacketFence, providing internet access, while the other serves as the connection point for devices. Devices in this port are expected to receive IP addresses from PacketFence and register on the captive portal. Notably, a VLAN is configured on this port, aligning with the logical interface created in PacketFence. My PacketFence interfaces are configured as follows: Management Interface (eth0): IP: 172.16.49.120 Inline Layer 2 Interface (eth0.133): IP: 192.168.1.1 DNS: 8.8.8.8 DHCP Server: Enabled NAT: Enabled While devices connected to the network can access the captive portal when assigned a manual IP address, I've encountered an issue when attempting to gain access to the internet through the captive portal. The error message received is as follows: "Your computer was not found on the PacketFence database. Please reboot to solve this issue." Additionally, the MAC address associated with the device is displayed as 0. I suspect this error is related to the use of a static IP address, leading to my next problem: Although I have enabled the DHCP server on PacketFence, devices are not receiving IP addresses dynamically when connected to the port on the switch. I would greatly appreciate any guidance to troubleshoot and resolve these issues. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards
