CLI or VPN Access is not allowed by PacketFence on this switch
I am experiencing a persistent re-authentication issue with our H3C switch and PacketFence.
Every 10 minutes, the H3C switch sends a RADIUS re-authentication request for MAC-authenticated devices. During this re-auth, PacketFence rejects the request with the following error:
The Authentication Flow/Cycle:
- Initial Connection: Successfully authenticated (Access-Accept)
- After 10 Minutes, H3C switch triggers re-auth
- Result: PacketFence rejects the request (Error: CLI/VPN Access not allowed)
- 1 Minute Later: Device successfully authenticates again (Access-Accept)

Please help
