So... why are you reading random pages on the net? And not the pages we suggested you read?
it seemes obvious to me that I have misunderstood a few things: I thought I needed something EXTRA that should run a NAS request to the radius-server, and thought the router should do the job.
You're mixing up terminology. Get it right, or you'll *never* understand what's going on.
But the NAS is there already in the freeradiusserver downloadfile installed together with the server.
What the heck does that mean?
Looking at what the radtest is spitting out it is there with its NAS IP and port "Sending Access-Request". The radiud -X answers this request:"rad_recv: Access-Request......[pap] User authenticated successfully ++[pap] returns ok...........
Well... you've completely misunderstand everything about that.
Were there no NAS already, the radiusd would not have answered. Simple as that.
No. Absolutely not. Not "simple as that".
From this it is of course obvious to me that it is impossible that the router can run a NAS,
No. Many routers do send RADIUS Access-Request packets.
and I can understand Buxeys resignation about my "very special router".
No. You thought that the router would accept RADIUS packets from a third party, and then send them to the RADIUS server. Routers don't work like that. Hence his comment of "very special router".
The router can only direct or rather route the userclient message to the NAS-radius machinery.
You're using terminology you invented. STOP IT NOW. Your misconception of how everything works is making it IMPOSSIBLE for you to understand ANYTHING.
That is what the router's EAP-switch is for, letting me configure an IP and a port in that box where to send it, have it treated by the NAS/radclient/radserver and receive an OK or something to let me through to the f.ex. internet. Isn't this correct?
It's complete nonsense. You might as well be writing gibberish.
If this is correct everything is simplified to just find out how to network this. Am I closer now?
You're even further away from understanding how it works. Read the Wikipedia pages on RADIUS and EAP. It's really not hard. Alan DeKok.
