Steve,
I am fairly new myself but have the system up and running with basic
functionality. The Administration Guide assisted me with the same question you
have, it can be found here: http://www.packetfence.org/documentation/guides.html
Registration is the VLAN that systems are placed in for the purpose of
registration. Isolation would be where they are put if there is a violation
(one example, you have a scanner set up (I'm not that far yet) and it finds
that they have no anti-virus). Both of those VLANs need to exist on your
switches but it is PacketFence that runs them (DHCP, etc). Your switches would
NOT have a VLAN interface on those VLANs. Management can be a totally separate
VLAN for just management of PF, but for myself, I made Management be the same
VLAN all normal traffic resides in.
The administration Guide goes into what you need to know if you have routed
networks that PF will need to get to. An important note: I am running in
Out-of-Band mode, I can't speak at all about Inline mode. It is most helpful
to everyone if you specify what mode you are running in.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] PacketFence newbie
Hello,
I'm very new to packetfence and have just completed the build. I'm struggling
with how sub-interfaces/vlans should be setup.
Is there a document or can someone explain how the management, registration and
isolation are supposed to work? I'm using an out-of-band deployment (with
captive portal) and have my mgt. interface setup as a routable address on my
network. I'm using non-routable addresses for my registration and isolation
vlans. Is this the preferred method or do all interfaces need to be routable.
Thanks,
Steve
