NAME

radtest - send packets to a RADIUS server, show reply

SYNOPSIS

radtest [-d raddb_directory] user password radius-server nas-port-number secret [ppphint] [nasname]

DESCRIPTION

radtest is a frontend to radclient(1). It generates a list of attribute/value pairs based on the command line arguments, and feeds these into radclient. It's a fast and convenient way to test a radius server.

OPTIONS

-d raddb_directory: The directory that contains the RADIUS dictionary files. Defaults to /etc/raddb.
user: Username to send.
password: Password of the user.
radius-server: Hostname or IP address of the radius server. Optionally, you may specify a port by appending :port
nas-port-number: The value of the NAS-Port attribute. Is an integer between 0 and 2^31, and it really doesn't matter what you put here. 10 will do fine.
secret: The shared secret for this client.
ppphint: If you put an integer > 0 here, radtest (or actually radclient) will add the attribute Framed-Protocol = PPP to the request packet.
nasname: If present, this will be resolved to an IP address and added to the request packet as the NAS-IP-Address attribute. If you don't specify it, the local hostname of the system will be used.
