Hi Wadia,

I am trying to configure mac address based VLAN assignment so that my packetfence server can assign vlans to hosts based on pre-configured mac-addresses.

Some hints pointing into the direction of a possible solution:

Any device will end up in the nodes database (Node tab in the Packetfence web gui) as unregistered.

'unregistered' signifies in default configuration that the node will be put into the registration vlan - no matter what vlan you would define for a mac address.

You can manually register a node through the gui to make it part of the descision tree of packetfence to choose a vlan.

The most simple way to put any registered node into a vlan would be to use the node tab of the gui to apply a bypass vlan.

A rule based approach could be to define roles and get the role for a MAC from an appropriate authentication source.

I'll try to reply here if I find the time. If you look for comprehensive support I could refer you to my employer for a support contract.
