[PacketFence-users] Nortel 5600 Series Switches, EAP working and NEAP is not

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm working on a replacement PacketFence installation to replace our VERY, VERY old PacketFence 3.5.0. In doing so, we're looking to increase our security from MAC Based Security to EAP and NEAP.

We have a manufacture homogeneous environment in which we use only Avaya/Nortel/Extreme switches of the 3500, 4800, 5500, 5600 and 5900 Series switches. I've been able to get the 4800s and 5900s working using both EAP and NEAP. However, I'm having a terrible time getting NEAP to work on the 5600s and 5500s

Below is a working NEAP and EAP connection on an ERS4800 complete with RADIUS printouts and logs from the server.

If I had to guess, the 5600 series switches are either not sending the Calling-Station-ID, which it should be for both EAP and NEAP. Anyone have any guesses where to go from here? Anyone have any ideas? A working installation that uses both NEAP and EAP on Avaya/Nortel/Extreme 5500 and 5600 series switches?

To make matters more interesting, I have a working switch that used the Avaya IDE for both NEAP and EAP, and it works great. Copying the configuration from one to the other does not work.

Any information would be helpful.

Cheers,
