Hi,

You can simply put the switch into testing mode (instead of production mode). You should be able to get the information, but PF won't do anything.

Hi all,

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I want to deploy packetfence and take full advantage of its reporting capabilities without leveraging the interactive NAC capability.

To be more specific, I'm looking for a way that the switch and port info for a node gets updated in the node view, but I don't want any VLAN changes to occur. I believe this would have to do with the switch mode. However the only mode that I can get to populate the switch/port information is by putting the switch in production. I've then configured the switch with an incorrect write SNMP community. This is how I've been able to get the switch/port information without changing the VLAN, but it isn't very efficient. Anyone have another idea, that might streamline communications between packetfence and the switch?

The purpose behind this is to audit what's (DHCP fingerprinting / Hostname / MAC address) coming on the network and where (Switch / port) without any active changes or active change attempts.

Thanks,
