DAS_port and hostapd.conf

When I compile openwrt image for Edgecore AP, 5211 - I can see the hostapd.conf file. I want to enable radius_das_port (for COA/DM). I went and uncommented the line
radius_das_port=3799
in hostapd.conf file and recompiled the code.

However, I don't see anyone listening on port 3799 (see netstat below). Can someone tell how this hostapd.conf eventually translates to /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf and /var/run/hostapd1.conf

Thanks

I also modified the hostapd.conf and uncommented out the lines to configure

radius_das_client=192.168.0.199 shared_secret

Now the hostapd.sh is supposed to configure the radius_das_port and radius_das_client based on this

            [ -n "$dae_client" -a -n "$dae_secret" ] && {
                append bss_conf "radius_das_port=$dae_port" "$N"
                append bss_conf "radius_das_client=$dae_client $dae_secret" "$N"
            }

Still don't see the changes in /var/run/hostapd-phy[0/1].conf

Appreciate any pointers on this.
Thanks
