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 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.
