Re: Help needed configuring MAB on FreeRADIUS and Cisco switch
Hi, The very last line of startup output will say Ready to process requests If you get NOTHING else then the server is not getting any packets through to it...which is either something simple such as the built in firewall of cents (edit the firewall using your favourite method to allow UDP 1812 through for RADIUS auth packets), a network issue, (routing, ACLs etc) or a switch configuration issue. alan -- This smartphone uses free WiFi around the world with eduroam, now that's what I call smart.

Yep that's what it says!! I am not sure however, if either the switch or RADIUS has been configured correctly. The switch config I pulled from both the Wiki and the Cisco configuration guides however, they mostly are for RADIUS based login authentication - of course I went to the MAB portion. I have attached the Cisco config to my initial posting and I know it would be off-topic here but since it is relevant I thought that maybe somebody could help :-) Regards, Kaya

If FreeRADIUS prints out NOTHING once started, no packets are arriving. Check the Cisco config again. Use "debug" and "term mon" as appropriate. If the Cisco is sending radius requests, then you need to resort to normal network connectivity diagnosis - ping, tcpdump/wireshark, check iptables, etc. This is not a FreeRADIUS issue (so far).
