first question would be why?  end clients never talk to the RADIUS server
directly - the NAS (wireless AP, switch, VPN, RAS etc) do.

however if this is for eg testing another server can talk to it, then simply
add the client to clients.conf, restart FR and ensure the client is allowed
to talk to the RADIUS server (firewall)

yep. firewall. adjust your CentOS default firewall settings - /etc/sysconfig/iptables
so that your client can talk to the server on UDP 1812
