Subject: Re: [Packetfence-users] Support for multiple devices (MAC's) under a
switch port
Hi Everyone
i would like to know if this mail has an answer

Hi,
We are currently evaluating whether it is possible to use packetfence
in our environment. I have done some research on the maillist but
couldn't find an exact answer.
Here is a short version of my question: does packetfence support the
use case of having multiple devices (MAC addresses) under one switch
port (in vlan mode)?
Let me know explain a little bit more about our environment. Our core
switch and access switches are mostly cisco (3750 and 2960) ones,
which are supported by packetfence according to the documentation.
However, the problem is that when the network cables are deployed
throughout our building, each laboratory in our department only gets 3
cables (and, hence, 3 ports on the access switch). This is obviously
not enough for the lab as they usually have 10-20 devices, and have
their own unmanaged small switches. An obvious solution would be to
renew the cable infrastructure and add more access switches, but we
currently don't have the budget to do so. Hence, the multiple MAC
addresses under one switch port problem.
We want to implement a basic registration mechanism, so that all
devices on our network are associated with a user in our department
and if new devices without registration are plugged in they will be
blocked. The registration process doesn't have to be done on the new
device since we can ask the user to register new ones using an already
registered computer or submit the request to the network administrator
via e-mail. Can packetfence simply add registered devices to the
secure MAC address list and increase the maximum allowed MAC on the
switch? (and therefore, the switch will block any unregistered new
devices) As for isolation, since all devices on the same switch port
belong to the same lab, it is okay to put all of them to the isolation
vlan if there's a violation from any of those devices.
We understand that the feature we are interested in might need some
modifications to the current version of packetfence. If that is the
case, where do we start?
Since we are obviously very new to packetfence, we would appreciate
any advice to our particular use case. Looking forward to hearing from
you guys. Many thanks.
Best wishes,
-Michael
