Our network team have asked if we can get FreeRadius to simply not respond under certain circumstances.
i.e.
if (some condition) {
           let client time out
}
Is this possible?
$ cat /etc/raddb/policy.d/control
#
#  If you want the server to pretend that it is dead,
#  then use the "do_not_respond" policy.

do_not_respond {
	update control {
		&Response-Packet-Type := Do-Not-Respond
	}
	handled
}
.snip.

So, in your example above, put “do_not_respond” in place of “let client time out”.
