I have purchased a Linksys SLM248G switch that has 802.1x support. I am new to radius server and would like to use this switch to authenticate ports for a lab to a freeradius server. I have installed freeradius 2.1.0 on freebsd 7.0 system. It is the default configuration for FreeRadius 2.1.0 with the following added to the client.conf. client 128.227.232.133 { secret = thisislinksys shortname = 232.133 } The Linksys switch is setup as follows: IP address: 128.227.220.28 Priority: 0 Authenticatio port: 1812 number of retries: 3 timeout for reply: 3 dead time: 0 key string: thisislinksys source IP address: 128.227.232.133 usage type: 802.1x The WindowsXP setup: enable 802.1x auth: checked EAP type: MD5-challenge I do not see any output from the Freeradius server running radiusd -X.
