Chadwick,

Can you access the PF VM from VMWare console and restart networking or the 
entire server?

Maybe that’s all that’s needed.  Think that’s what I did last week when I was 
last working on this.

I’m just one step ahead of you but am getting output on the radius audit page – 
but with no reason given for auth status “reject.”

Anyway, hope that helps.  Good luck.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Packetfence ZEN bridge problem

Hi,
so I've deployed my Packetfence ZEN on VMware, i've followed the documentation :

https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Installation_Guide.html#_going_through_the_configurator<https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Installation_Guide.html#_going_through_the_configurator>

and I've reach the testing part
5.7. 
Testing<https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Installation_Guide.html#_testing>
If I'm correct,
1) by default ZEN is configured to use NAT on VM (The first time I open the 
.ova, the network configuration was set to NAT),
2) by default the IP address of the eth0 interface is set to a static address

When I try to connect a client (a Windows 10 laptop) to my 2960 switch, the 
authentication prompt popped up, I entered both valid and invalid credentials, 
but the authentication failed,

the documentation said :
"To see what’s going on from PacketFence, click on the Auditing tab from 
PacketFence’s admin interface. You should see an entry for the MAC address of 
your Microsoft Windows 7 endpoint"

but when I checked, there was nothing there..
My understanding is the switch has no way to communicate with the pf server in 
the VM since it is using NAT..

When I tried to change it to bridged connection to make the PF bridge my PC's 
ethernet connection, the IP address of the PF eth0 didn't change, so I change 
it to a valid IP address from my LAN segment, and I cannot access the 
configurator, or the admin page..

Can anyone help me please..? maybe I missed something or there is additional 
configuration I need for it to work?
Thanks in advance
