Hello Sofiane,

You just described a full project with PacketFence. To be honest I highly doubt 
that you could achieve that with just the mailing help, I would suggest you to 
consult our support offers in order to speed up that process.

Let me try to answer your questions as best as possible.

You can do 802.1x EAP TLS on a 802.1x WPA2 Enterprise SSID without issue, you 
can even do EAP PEAP on that same SSID. There is no fail safe feature on a 
802.1x WPA Enterprise SSID. What you could implement is a hidden SSID with PSK 
that you push with GPO on Windows domain joined machines. When you implement 
802.1x you don’t not need to touch anything from the production network, you 
re-use what’s there.

You can use your ADCS (Windows PKI) and the PacketFence PKI at the same time. 
Use the Windows PKI for your domain join machine that can get a certificate 
(User + computer) and use PacketFence PKI to provide certificates to BYOD 
(Non-domain machines).

We usually deploy a PacketFence cluster of 3 nodes where you can get some high 
availability spreader into 2 different hosts. If the servers became totally 
unresponsive, you can rely on switch/ wireless controller feature that can 
either try to contact another radius server or fail into an open state.

Once a device establish an 802.1x connection no VLAN is assigned until the 
radius authentication is done, so you won’t be able to use your “trash” VLAN. 
No connection is made yet.

For your remediation, it’s doable but you will need some criteria to isolate 
the device in order to be redirected into the isolation VLAN.

As I said, the mailing list is there to answer few of your questions not for 
full project implementation, we do offer paid service to help you out to 
achieve what you want.

Thanks,
