I managed to figure the issue of **authentication** and it's really
embarrassing!

<username> attribute and getting rid of it just now the server started
accepting the user :-)


Running the suggested debug commands on the switch it is claiming:


"authorization failed"

"accounting failed"

mab failure due to 'dead server'


I took the liberty of changing the Tunnel-Private-Group-Id to 20 since
I have vlan 1 and 20 configured on the switch I am using in the hope
that the laptop would get a DHCP address from the DHCP server
configured on the switch, however I think due to the above errors
there is something additional which needs to be done.
