Configuration

In this section, you’ll learn how to configure PacketFence. PacketFence will use MySQL, Apache, ISC DHCP,

iptables and FreeRADIUS. As previously mentioned, we assume that those components run on the same

server on which PacketFence is being installed.

First Step

The first step after installing the necessary packages is the configuration step. PacketFence provides an

helpful and detailed web-based configurator.

Like mentioned at the end of the packages installation, fire up a web browser and go to https://

@ip_of_packetfence:1443/configurator. From there, the configuration process is splited in six (6)

distinctive steps, after which you’ll have a working PacketFence setup.

∏ Step 1: Enforcement technique. You’ll choose either VLAN enforcement, inline enforcement or both;

∏ Step 2: Network configuration. You’ll be able to configure the network interfaces of the system as well as

assigning the correct interfaces for each of the required types of the chosen enforcement technique(s);

∏ Step 3: Database configuration. This step will create the PacketFence database and populate it with the

correct structure. A MySQL user will also be created and assigned to the newly created database;

∏ Step 4: General configuration. You will need to configure some of the basic PacketFence configuration

parameters;

∏ Step 5: Administrative user. This step will ask you to create an administrative user that will be able to

access the web-based adminsitration interface once the services are functionals;

∏ Step 6: Let’s do this! See the status of your configuration and start your new NAC!

Note

Keep in mind that the resulting PacketFence configuration will be located under /usr/

local/pf/conf/ and the configuration files can always be adjusted by hand afterward

or from PacketFence’s Web GUI.
