Let's try a different approach, to see if you can understand this better.

You said you "use freeradius to authenticate some Network Equipment,
wie Router, Switches, usw.. and all run well!". So I assume you KNOW
what to do when you need to add a new router/switch/whatever to use
radius authentication, right?  One of the proces includes configuring
freeradius to recognize the new switch/whatever as a valid radius
client (i.e. NAS).

>From freeradius perspective, the "radtest" program (or whatever
mechanism your nagios will use to test radius functionality) is just
another NAS. And you need to configure the server to recognize the new
NAS just like you usually do if you add another switch/whatever.

Does this make sense so far?
