Displaying Information on Authentication Servers

– 242 –

Accept, Access-Reject, Access-Challenge, timeout, or

retransmission.

Timeouts – The number of authentication timeouts to the server.

After a timeout, the client may retry to the same server, send to a

different server, or give up. A retry to the same server is counted as

a retransmit as well as a timeout. A send to a different server is

counted as a Request as well as a timeout.

Other Info

IP Address – IP address and UDP port for the authentication

server.

State – The current state of the server. This field takes one of the

following values:

Disabled – The server is disabled.

Not Ready – The server is enabled, but IP communication is not

yet up and running.

Ready – The server is enabled, IP communication is up and

running, and the RADIUS module is ready to accept access

attempts.

Dead (X seconds left) – Access attempts were made to this

server, but it did not reply within the configured timeout. The

server has been temporarily disabled, but will be re-enabled

when the dead-time expires. The number of seconds left before

this occurs is displayed in parentheses.

Round-Trip Time – The time interval (measured in milliseconds)

between the most recent Access-Reply/Access-Challenge and the

Access-Request that matched it from the RADIUS authentication

server. The granularity of this measurement is 100 ms. A value of 0

ms indicates that there hasn't been round-trip communication with

the server yet.

RADIUS Accounting Statistics

Receive Packets

Responses – The number of RADIUS packets (valid or invalid)

received from the server.

Malformed Responses – The number of malformed RADIUS

packets received from the server. Malformed packets include

packets with an invalid length. Bad authenticators or unknown

types are not included as malformed access responses.

Bad Authenticators – The number of RADIUS packets containing

invalid authenticators received from the server.
