Hi Durand,

Ah right - so you're saying most of the configuration happens on the
switch-side then? (In terms of timeout, and then falling back).

Ubiquiti Unifi switches don't seem to make this too easy (they don't expose
it in the management GUI) - and Arista doesn't mention anything about it at
all in their docs about MAC bypass, or any kind of timeouts -
https://www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/user-manual/um-eos/Chapters/802.1x%20Port%20Security.pdf.
Is it possible these switch simply don't support it?

That means though, on the Packetfence side - we should have RADIUS entries
for both the username/password users we want, as well as the MAC devices
(MAC address in both username/password field), right?

Regards,
Victor
