The non-managed switches/hubs, like the 5 port netgear switch.  Connected to my 
cisco 2960.  If a printer and a desktop was attached to the netgear, 
packetfence would not change the vlan on the 2960 because there was no location 
log entry.

Scott,

I am sorry, I am not sure I get it - what was it that PacketFence didn't like?

Boris.

Sorry for the delay – Yes, adding the ifindex as uplinks also corrected my 
issue where a non-managed switch/hub was in use.  PacketFence didn’t like those 
at all!

Yes, I just checked it - that is exactly what works, a comma-separated list of 
ifindexes!

Thanks again for the help.

Boris.

Scott,

Awesome, thanks for your reply.

So do you specify your uplink ports just as a comma-separated list of ifindexes?

Boris.

I used to struggle with that – then Fabrice informed me that I was referencing 
the port numbers wrong.


You have to use the ifindex instead of the port numbers.  On Cisco IOS use 
command:  Show snmp mib ifmib ifindex, to display ifindex of all ports.

Once I used the ifindex then PacketFence displays in the logs “We don’t manage 
Uplinks”

Thanks,

Scott

Hello listmates,

I am struggling to get PF to leave the uplink ports on my switches alone. Has 
anyone done that? Do you have a switches.conf file with the list of "uplinks"? 
May I see it?

Thanks.

Boris.
