Freeradius server can not see any request from clients.

[richard Bai]

Hi, everyone,

 

I face a very strange problem right now when I configure a freeradius server with PEAP + LDAP.

 

I can start the radius in debug mode properly. I get following lines:

Listening on authentication *:1812

Listening on accounting *:1813

Ready to process requests.

 

Then I did test by using " radtest username password localhost 0 sharedsecret"

And the radius server replied with Access-Accept message. So, I think the serve works just fine.

 

But when I tested by using "radtest username password IP of server 0 sharedsecret" from a client conneted to the server through a hub, I can not get anything back.

I even did not see any Access-Request information in debug mode on the radius server. It looks like the radius doesn't receive anything.

However, I sniffered the interface via Ethereal and used " tcpdump -v port 1812 " in the server, I do see the Access-Request packet received by the interface on the server,

I confirmed that the 1812 port is open.

 

Please give me some idea. Any advices or solution is welcome.

 

Thank you very much!

 

 

 

Best Regards

Richard
