Hi rbatte1

Thanks for your feedback.
I have been working with our system integration team to determine the type of storage and finally have decided on using external NAS Gold storage for the FTPS server.
The advantage of external NAS storage is it can be mounted onto both the FTPS server and the application server via NFS.

Then what I intend to do is test transfers from application server to the FTPS servre NAS storage using 2 methods:

(1) Copy large files from the application server to the FTPS NAS storage via the NFS mount point on the local application server itself and benchmark the latencies.

(2) FTP the same large files from the application server to the FTPS NAS storage via the NAS mount point on the FTPS server using rsync/lftp. Latencies are once again recorded and compared with the benchmarked latencies from previous method.

This way I will get a clear picture of which is a faster option, whether to ftp to remote NAS storage or to copy to remote NAS storage via NFS mount.
I will update you of my observations once I have the servers, storage provisioned and am able to perform my tests.

thanks

radtest

RADTEST(1)							 FreeRADIUS Daemon							RADTEST(1)

NAME

       radtest - send packets to a RADIUS server, show reply

SYNOPSIS

       radtest [-d raddb_directory] [-t pap/chap/mschap] [-x ] [-4 ] [-6 ] user password radius-server nas-port-number secret [ppphint] [nasname]

DESCRIPTION

       radtest	is  a  frontend to radclient(1). It generates a list of attribute/value pairs based on the command line arguments, and feeds these
       into radclient. It's a fast and convenient way to test a radius server.

OPTIONS

       -d raddb_directory
	      The directory that contains the RADIUS dictionary files. Defaults to /etc/raddb.

       -t pap/chap/mschap/eap-md5
	      Choose the authentiction method to use.  e.g. "-t pap", "-t chap", "-t mschap", or "-t eap-md5",.  Defaults to "pap".  Using EAP-MD5
	      requires that the "radeapclient" program is installed.

       -x     Enables debugging output for the RADIUS client.

       -4     Use NAS-IP-Address for the NAS address (default)

       -6     Use NAS-IPv6-Address for the NAS address (default)

       user   Username to send.

       password
	      Password of the user.

       radius-server
	      Hostname or IP address of the radius server. Optionally, you may specify a port by appending :port

       nas-port-number
	      The  value  of  the NAS-Port attribute. Is an integer between 0 and 2^31, and it really doesn't matter what you put here. 10 will do
	      fine.

       secret The shared secret for this client.

       ppphint
	      If you put an integer > 0 here, radtest (or actually radclient) will add the attribute Framed-Protocol = PPP to the request packet.

       nasname
	      If present, this will be resolved to an IP address and added to the request packet as the NAS-IP-Address	attribute.  If	you  don't
	      specify it, the local hostname of the system will be used.
