  Learn how to ask good questions.  You keep talking about a solution
you've implemented.  Don't do that.  It's clear you don't understand the
server, and you don't understand what you've implemented.

  Instead, describe what you want to do.  Describe what information you
see in an Access-Request, and what information you want to see in an
Access-Accept.  Describe how you want to use the information in the
Access-Request to make decisions.

  You are having major difficulties configuring the server.  The ONLY
reason for this is that you don't know what you want it to do.

  The NAS sends whatever it wants to send.  It doesn't "have" to send
anything.

  And what do you mean by "FreeRADIUS compare with database"?  Compare
WHAT?  With WHAT?  WHY is it doing the comparison?

  What's a "user's time session"?

  You need to talk about what's actually happening.  Using the correct
words is a requirement.  Using vague confusing words just makes your
life more difficult.

  You haven't described what you want the server to do.  All you've said
is "the server receives packets and sends replies.  But it doesn't work"

  Those kind of comments are content-free, and unhelpful.
