Is there anything I can do in the freeradius to change the characters to
different ones? Example: To make “/” as “-“ and “:” as “_”. So the
NAS-Port-ID would look like “1-1-4_1001.129” instead. Is it possible to
translate characters in Freeradius? If possible, how do i make it?
You can't translate the characters, but you can re-write the
attribute.  I'd use a regex:

	if (NAS-Port-Id =~ /^(.)/(.)/(.):(.*)$/) {
		update request {
			NAS-Port-Id := "%1_%2_%3_%4"
		}
	}

  You may have to play with the regex to get it to match your exact
case, but the idea is there.
