Backend Server
Counters
(Receive /
Transmit)
Backend server frame counter statistics.
For MAC-based ports there are two tables containing backend server counters. The
left most shows a summary of all backend server counters on this port. The right most
shows backend server counters for the currently selected client, or dashes if no client is
selected or available. A client can be selected from the list of authorized/unauthorized
clients below the two counter tables.
There are slight differences in the interpretation of the counters between port- and
MAC-based authentications.
Last Supplicant
Info
For MAC-based ports, this section is embedded in the backend server counter’s
section.
Information about the last supplicant/client that attempted to authenticate.
Clients attached
to this port
This table is only available for MAC-based ports
Each row in the table represents a MAC-based client on the port, and there are three
parameters for each client:
MAC Address: Shows the MAC address of the client, which is also used as the
password in the authentication process against the backend server.
Clicking the link causes the client’s backend server counters to be
shown in the right-most backend server counters table above. If no
clients are attached, it shows No clients attached.
State: Shows whether the client is authorized or unauthorized. As long as the backend
server hasn’t successfully authenticated a client, it is unauthorized
Last Authentication: Show the date and time of the last authentication of the client. This
gets updated for every re-authentication of the client.
