Using vi or another text editor, edit the /etc/raddb/clients.conf file to include each client, its IP address, and the shared secret (which must match the secret configured on the switch). (For a list of vi commands, see “vi Editor” on page B-5 in Appendix B: “Manually Editing DCM Controller Files.”)
