PacketFence - Cloud x Local Network

Hi all,

First of all, i'm new to the NAC world, and i'm trying to solve a 8021.x deploy problem on my network.

The problem:

We have an hybrid computational park here. Desktops and notebooks. Most of them are notebooks ( around 1200 ) but i have 300 to 400 desktops.

I need to deploy 8021.x to this network and im facing some problems regarding the VLAN changing on authentication. On notebooks it works fine, because the windows profile is already created, so the login goes on cache, and then, the user get the VLAN designed by our Wi-Fi controller and NPS.

On the wired connection, the problem comes when the first login on a computer that doesnt have the profile created. This system just wont create the profile and wont work as intended. So i decided to go for a NAC ( open source, since my budget is minimal because im changing firewalls here ).

Saw that packetfence could help me with this, but im not sure if i can configure it the way i need to.

Other thing, im using PacketFence hosted on a Cloud environment, on Google Cloud. My Active Directory servers are on the same subnet, and what i need to do is packetfence just make everyone who connects on the wired goes to guest, and then, when it authenticates, goes to the VLAN already set up by the NPS. Is that possible?

Sorry for the bad english, and thanks in advance
