You may use either command line switches or configuration file options,
according to your preferences. Notice however, that the configuration file
allows finer control over the operation of radiusd. For example,
--ip-address switch provides only a subset of the functionality of
`listen' statement in configuration file. Besides, most of the
configuration file directives do not have corresponding command
line options.

When settings of the configuration file contradict those from
the command line options, the former take precedence over the
latter.
