Hi Juan,

Even though PacketFence will disconnect the device using RADIUS, it is still using SNMP to determine the type of the interface. That's why 'doWeActOnThisTrap' returns false.

You will still need to configure SNMP at least for read-only when using RADIUS authentication/disconnection.

Hi Guys,

I recently move my configuration from port-security to MAB in a Cisco 2960. In the port-security area, SNMP and SNMP-TRAPS were involve in all the process to change the VLAN, now what I understand is that for MAB is only RADIUS and RADIUS CoA involve in the change of the VLAN.

However what I'm seeing from packetfence.log is that for an unknown reason Packetefence is trying to create a SNMP read connection, even if I specifically said that the deauthentication method for the switch is RADIUS.

Here are the logs,

I tough that maybe during the changes made to the configuration from SNMP to RADIUS there was something in the cache of the system, so I tryed several pfcmd commands to clear the cache of the system to be sure that is not something like that. The version that i'm running is 4.3.0 with the latest patches. So here are my questions,

1. Is packetfence alway going to create an SNMP connection even if the entire procedure relays on RADIUS only?

2. If not, where can I look if I have something wrong?

3. Is there any possibility something in the cache?

4. I saw the code for the 2960 and there a few lines that put the default method of deauthentication to SNMP, could be this the problem? (I changed and didnto work anyway)


I hope if somebody can help me figure out what is going on

Best Regards from Colombia
Best Regards
