Yes, of course I'll have to use a Radius server, and many forums say that
if you put the Mac address in both username and password, it will
authenticate if - in the switch - you use Mab... And that's exactly what I
tried to do, but it did not authenticate... Am I doing sth wrong?

So correct me if i'm wrong : I'll have to uncomment the mac2vlan on vmps
file, add MAC-ADD,VLAN-NAME to mac2vlan, change the listening port to 1598
and the auth type to vmps on radiusd.conf, and that's that?
It's just that... I don't exactly see how dynamic vlan assignment works if
you only use a flat list, vmps only shows how to query the DB..


Thank you Alan.
