hi:

are authentication packets between routers and radius
servers encrypted or clear-text?

Thanks

All clear text, but passwords are sent as an MD5 hash which is the result of a shared secret on both the radius server and the router.

Let's try Google before NANOG, please.

  rfc radius authentication protocol

is a good first attempt.

FWIW, I find it useful to cache RFCs locally and grep.

Thanks
