Re: Network Manager with 802.1X and Switch ports on "General mode"

Hello,
 
We are trying to use NetworkManager to handle connections on a wired
network with authentication via 802.1X and a special configuration
but we can't manage to make it work.
 
All ports of the switches where the clients are connecting are
configured in general mode, allowing traffic from different vlans,
and also untagged traffic.
 
If we use a Windows host on that port, everything works perfectly,
the authentication to the radius server works fine and the machine
receive the traffic as expected.
The problem is that when connecting a linux to the network the
machine authenticates correctly and radius assign the vlan to the
port, then the machine gets the traffic tagged with the vlan, but
Network Manager does not seem to pick it up and bring up a vlan sub-
interface to handle that traffic. If we bring it up manually using
ifup eth0.vlan_number, it works
 
We assume that the Switch sends the same traffic to both the Windows
and the Linux, but the network stack is managing it differently. Is
there any configuration that we are missing on the network manager to
make it work? Is this kind of setup supported?


Hi,

I am not familiar with the setup you are describing here, but I suspect
it's the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129811 ,
isn't it?


best,
Thomas
