  In 2.1.8, there's an example CoA server in raddb/sites-available/coa

  The server isn't listening on the CoA port.  Ensure that it's
listening on the CoA port *before* sending it packets via radclient.

  Again, the whole purpose of debugging mode is to *read it*.

  If you *read* the rest of the debug output and look for "coa", it
becomes clear that you configured the server to *originate* CoA packets.
  Yet you're trying to *send* it CoA packets.  This won't work.

  Please *read* the documentation at the top of
raddb/sites-available/originate-coa.  You configured the server to use
it, so you *must* know it exists.  The documentation explains what that
file does, and how you can test it.

  This *is* documented.  Please read it.
