Summary

0000966: node expiration with expire.node=... won't work in routed VLAN

Description

expire.node triggers node_cleanup from pfmon

several problems:
- uses node_delete which doesn't delete in vlan-isolation if there's an open locationlog entry (and we know there are tons of that)
- the expiration is calculated on last_arp field in the node table, last_arp won't be triggered in routed environment

Hints for solution:
- Add a last_activity field to the node table that is updated based on different mechanism (ie: arp, dhcp, mac activity, on connection with radius stuff, captive portal, etc.)
- we should auto-close locationlog entries after 1 day when they are of type except snmp-traps and MAB because the client need to periodically re-auth anyway (configurable)

(0002878) obilodeau (reporter) 2012-08-06 16:01	Reminder sent to: fgaudreault With your node expiration changes, can this be closed?

(0003034) fgaudreault (viewer) 2012-09-10 14:33	I think so yes.

(0003036) fgaudreault (viewer) 2012-09-10 14:39	Not relevant anymore. We now use last_dhcp to trigger the node_expire.
