After posting this problem I upgraded to 1.9.0 for the new node category feature (VLAN-assignment-by-category) and now see different behavior when editing (using the GUI) a node's VLAN field which in snapshot 1.9.0 is now called "Alternate dest. VLAN". Originally when editing the snapshot 1.8.8 node VLAN field of a single registered node, both registered nodes (that's all I got in testing now!) were updated (I assume all registered nodes were actually updated.) I just edited the "Alternate dest. VLAN" of this same node under 1.9.0 and my only other registered node did NOT get the change as I assume would have mistakenly happened under 1.8.8.
Regarding my original post below about my apparent not understanding of how custom_getCorrectVlan is suppose to work, I see this subroutine has been moved out of custom.pm and into vlan.pm, in addition it's parameters have changed according the 1.9.0 UPGRADE documentation. I also see the example code for this subroutine in vlan.pm utilizes the new 1.9.0 node category feature. So, bottom line, my posting below is no longer valid. I just need to figure out the example code and give it a try. Thanks everyone! ________________________________________ From: Steve Wittstruck Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 2:05 PM To: Steve Wittstruck Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Packetfence-users] Multiple Normal VLANs on same switch p.s. (my apology for the double post), I should have also explained below that the VLAN defined in the registered node's VLAN field was not put on the node's switch port, the 'normal' VLAN was assigned.

When I used PF's GUI to change the VLAN field of a registered node, the VLAN field of my only other registered node is also changed (I only have 2 registered nodes in my test lab)? Isn't this discussion, and Remon's script below, about having PF assign a node's VLAN per the VLAN field for each node? Thanks!

I've been reading the documentation and it seems to be possible to have a different normal VLAN per switch using the switches.conf file, but can I have more than a single normal VLAN on the same switch? e.g. in normal operation, ports 1 to 8 need to be in the Engineering VLAN and ports 9 to 24 need to be in the Finance VLAN.
