nasname is equivalent to a client stanza's name in clients.conf  as in
"Defines a RADIUS client.  The format is 'client
[hostname|ip-address]'"
Be sure that a hostname is resolvable at start time.

shortname equals shortname insofar :) Sometimes it gets printed out
(debug log, dialup admin) instead of the fq client name.

Not sure, looks like being related to snmp stuff. If youd don't have
something like that now you will not need it.
