Let me ask another question, first: Are you at all familiar with RADIUS?

There is no "vendor" field. I don't know where you got the idea
that there was one.

Those three fields are for controlling simultaneous login access.
You probably don't need them.

I have no idea where you got the idea that there was a "nas" entry.
I think at least part of the problem is that you're confusing
yourself by inventing configurations the server doesn't understand.
If you're at all familiar with RADIUS, the "clients.conf" file
should be easily understood.
If you're not familiar with RADIUS, I suggest buying & reading the
O'Reilly book, and also reading the "clients.conf" file. It contains
a wealth of documentation describing what fields exist, what they
mean, and what they're used for.
