Hi, I am fairly new to configuring FreeRADIUS, and have had to add some new clients to communicate with my RADIUS server.

I don’t think, that we use the clients.conf, but rather edit vi mysql—unless I’m missing something, but other clients aren’t in that file.

So here is what I configured:

+----+---------------+---------------+-------+-------+--------+--------+-----------+----------------+

| id | nasname       | shortname     | type  | ports | secret | server | community | description    |

+----+---------------+---------------+-------+-------+——---—--+--------+-----------+----------------+

| 30 | 172.26.248.41 | 172.26.248.41 | other |  NULL | secret | NULL   | NULL      | mvs.bgan-burum |

| 31 | 172.26.248.42 | 172.26.248.42 | other |  NULL | secret | NULL   | NULL      | mvs.bgan-burum |

| 32 | 172.26.248.43 | 172.26.248.43 | other |  NULL | secret | NULL   | NULL      | mvs.bgan-burum |

| 33 | 172.26.248.44 | 172.26.248.44 | other |  NULL | secret | NULL   | NULL      | mvs.bgan-burum |

| 34 | 172.26.248.45 | 172.26.248.45 | other |  NULL | secret | NULL   | NULL      | mvs.bgan-burum |

| 35 | 172.26.248.46 | 172.26.248.46 | other |  NULL | secret | NULL   | NULL      | mvs.bgan-burum |

+----+---------------+---------------+-------+-------+----------------+--------+-----------+————————+

Then, when I try to authenticate a device I get:

Mon Mar 10 20:16:19 2014 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address RADIUS_IP port 1812 from unknown client 172.26.248.41 port 54898

Mon Mar 10 20:28:02 2014 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address RADIUS_IP port 1812 from unknown client 172.26.248.42 port 52687

Mon Mar 10 20:28:05 2014 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address RADIUS_IP port 1812 from unknown client 172.26.248.42 port 52687

I have made sure that the secret is correct and not including any white space, but I don’t know why this is happening.

Thanks in advance for some direction.
