RADTEST(1)                                    FreeRADIUS Daemon                                   RADTEST(1)



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 com-mand command
       mand 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 FramedProtocol
              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 NASIP-Address
              IP-Address  attribute. If you don't specify it, the local hostname of the system will be used.
