The RADIUS server isn't properly functioning.

Reason: the server received the request (so network reachability from client to server is OK), but it did not send any Access-Accept or Access-Reject. If the user were missing from the DB or had a bad password the server would still send an Access-Reject. This behavior points to a server malfunction or software/configuration problem.
