NAME

       radtest - send packets to a RADIUS server, show reply

SYNOPSIS

       radtest  [-d  raddb_directory]  [-P tcp/udp] [-t pap/chap/mschap/eap-md5] [-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/freeradius/3.0.

       -P proto
              Use  proto transport protocol ("tcp" or "udp").  Only available if FreeRADIUS is compiled with TCP
              transport support.

       -t pap/chap/mschap/eap-md5
              Choose the authentication 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.
