Now that you have configured some users and a NAS, you are ready to test your configuration. The way to test AR locally without configuring an AAA client is to use a utility called radclient. The radclient utility uses the default Clients entry in AR of 127.0.0.1. The radclient utility simply creates and sends a RADIUS packet to AR. The following step sequence creates an Access-Request packet for user john with password john and the packet identifier p001. It displays the packet before sending it. It uses the send command to send the packet, which displays the response packet object identifier p002. Then, the sequence shows how to display the contents of the response packet.
