Trouble setting up vmps with 3.0.8 (3 series)

[Manny]

Hello gents,

I love the the spirit of the freeradius software and am really hoping to
use it for some testing in my home environment. Alas,  I am having some
definate trouble setting it up. When I use the magical google, all examples
are for 2.0 and the documentation for setting up vmps with the 3 series
appears a bit... lacking at least for my taste.

What I have done so far.

exec_prefix = ${prefix}

client localhost {
        ipaddr = 127.0.0.1
        proto = *
        secret = testing123
        require_message_authenticator = no
        limit {
                max_connections = 16
                lifetime = 0
                idle_timeout = 30
        }
}
client localhost_ipv6 {
        ipv6addr        = ::1
        secret          = testing123
}
client lex {
        ipaddr          = 192.168.1.0/24
        secret          = testing123456
}
[root at vmps01 raddb]#

My switches are on 192.168.1.10 & 192.168.1.11

Neither config on the switches accepts a secret (as defined in the
clients.conf file) but I tried running the config without it, and the
service would not start.

Default installation enabled a bunch of other modules, but really I only
want vmps (mac2vlan), but documentation doesn't really detail what I can
remove to have vmps only service.


Please help, thank you in advance,
