RADTEST(1)                     FreeRADIUS Daemon                    RADTEST(1)


NAME

       radtest - send packets to a RADIUS server, show reply


SYNOPSIS

       radtest [-d raddb_directory] [-t pap/chap/mschap] [-x ] [-4 ] [-6 ]
       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.

       -t pap/chap/mschap/eap-md5
              Choose the authentiction method to use.  e.g. "-t pap", "-t
              chap", "-t mschap", or "-t eap-md5",.  Defaults to "pap".  Using
              EAP-MD5 requires that the "radeapclient" program is installed.

       -x     Enables debugging output for the RADIUS client.

       -4     Use NAS-IP-Address for the NAS address (default)

       -6     Use NAS-IPv6-Address for the NAS address (default)

       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.
