14 radtest is a frontend to radclient(1). It generates a list of attri‐
15 bute/value pairs based on the command line arguments, and feeds these
16 into radclient. It's a fast and convenient way to test a radius server.
17
18
20 -d raddb_directory
21 The directory that contains the RADIUS dictionary files. De‐
22 faults to /etc/raddb.
23
24
25 -P proto
26 Use proto transport protocol ("tcp" or "udp"). Only available
27 if FreeRADIUS is compiled with TCP transport support.
28
29
30 -t pap/chap/mschap/eap-md5
31 Choose the authentication method to use. e.g. "-t pap", "-t
32 chap", "-t mschap", or "-t eap-md5",. Defaults to "pap". Using
33 EAP-MD5 requires that the "radeapclient" program is installed.
34
35
36 -x Enables debugging output for the RADIUS client.

51
52 radius-server
53 Hostname or IP address of the radius server. Optionally, you may
54 specify a port by appending :port
55
56
57 nas-port-number
58 The value of the NAS-Port attribute. Is an integer between 0 and
59 2^31, and it really doesn't matter what you put here. 10 will do
60 fine.
61
62
63 secret The shared secret for this client.
64
65
66 ppphint
67 If you put an integer > 0 here, radtest (or actually radclient)
68 will add the attribute Framed-Protocol = PPP to the request
69 packet.
70
71
72 nasname
73 If present, this will be resolved to an IP address and added to
74 the request packet as the NAS-IP-Address attribute. If you don't
75 specify it, the local hostname of the system will be used.
