Following the Using radtest and the HOW-TOs on the freeRadius site I have configured and was able to verify that the freeRadius Server authenticates PAP and EAP-MD5. I have spent several days trying to locate how to configure the freeRadius server and 802.1x Port Security in a LINUX ONLY (no ms windows) and WIRED only test lab on one RHEL6 linux box. I want to eventually enlarge upon that n/w setup to include at least one separate client node. One step at a time.
The main FreeRADIUS site points to docs on how to configure 802.1X. See http:/deployingradius.com/ If you want to know how to configure the client side... go read the docs for the client. There are hundreds of possible 802.1X clients. We can't document all of them.
I find many tutorials on how to configure "freeRadius/802.1x client/server" on WIFI and in MSwindows environment, or a combination of linux and MS Windows.
They should help you somewhat.
Now, it may be my lack of experience and lack of linux/networking understanding, but I cannot confidently follow tutorials that are not in sync with my linux/wired only limitations, especially when written with certain assumptions of a knowledge / experience base/vocabulary that I do not possess at this time.
Then learn. If you think you can successfully configure a complex system you don't understand... you don't understand how complex it is.
Question 2: Is there any available how to guide that may prove more basic and "for dummies" that I may use to step through a freeRadius/802.1x/Wired only/RHEL linux Only process?
Ask RH how to configure their clients to do 802.1X. We document FreeRADIUS. Alan DeKok.
