In this example we will perform a basic external Radius server configuration and test it with RUT device for Hotspot authentication. We will use ''freeradius'' package to set up a local Radius server on Ubuntu operating system. A router with a public IP address will be directly connected to the Radius server and forward authentication requests to a LAN IP address of the server via default Radius ports.
