Hello Stuart,

PacketFence is not a DHCP server for other VLAN than registration / isolation, if I followed properly VLAN 55 is your production VLAN for 'GeneralStaff', this mean you must have your own DHCP server in the VLAN 55.

Thanks

Hi,

We are trying to set up a new Packetfence server and are having problems somewhere between the ‘roles’ and client Windows machine picking up a relevant IP address from the pf server.

AD is successfully added as a user source and there are basic rules added, the rule conditions are for AD group membership so if an AD user account is in a group which matches the rule then its assigned a role.

The Windows client becomes ‘registered’ and is put into a relevant role ‘GeneralStaff’ for this situation. In PacketFence within Network-Switches area, our Cisco switch has the ‘Role by VLAN ID’ = ‘General Staff’ and is configured for VLAN 55 (Registration).

So when I connect my laptop, it is registered and is put into the ‘GeneralStaff’ role but I do not get an IP address associated with VLAN 55 (infact I get a 169 IP address).

I can ping all the VLAN interfaces etc so network connectivity is fine and in Network – Interfaces&Switches the VLANs have been configured eg vlan55 10.55.55.10 255.255.255.0 Registration. We are slightly confused why the packetfence does not give my laptop a VLAN 55 address?

Do we need to create separate DHCP scopes for each VLAN?

Thanks for any help you can provide in advance it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Stuart
