Summary0001004: Mac OS X doesn't renew DHCP after a 802.1x re-auth requested from a switch
DescriptionMac OS X's network stack doesn't renew DHCP after a 802.1x re-auth requested from a switch.

Windows does, haven't tested linux.

In wired 802.1x we use 802.1x re-auth request (from PAE MIB) when we change the VLAN of a device (isolation) so the fact that OSX doesn't do DHCP after that is pretty much a big road block for the captive portal to work..

I can reproduce the problem using 802.1X on Ethernet. Changing the status from Registered to Unregistered forced a port re-auth, but the interface did not do DHCP on the fly. It took more than 3 minutes to see the IP change. Looks like the bug that we faced on the wireless has NOT been fixed on the wired interface.

Using 10.6.6

We should re-test using Mountain Lion.
