The following fields can be viewed: 

Parameter                                                             Description 

MAC address 

The identification number assigned to the Port by the System in 
which the Port resides. This field is only displayed when 802.1X is 
enabled by MAC address. 

EnterConnecting 

Counts the number of times that the state machine transitions to the 
CONNECTING state from any other state. 

EapLogoffsWhile Connecting 

Counts the number of times that the state machine transitions from 
CONNECTING to DISCONNECTED as a result of receiving an 
EAPOL-Logoff message. 

EntersAuthenticating 

Counts the number of times that the state machine transitions from 
CONNECTING to AUTHENTICATING, as a result of an EAP-
Response/Identity message being received from the Supplicant. 

SuccessWhileAuthenticating 

Counts the number of times that the state machine transitions from 
AUTHENTICATING to AUTHENTICATED, as a result of the 
Backend Authentication state machine indicating successful 
authentication of the Supplicant (authSuccess = TRUE). 

TimeoutsWhileAuthenticating 

Counts the number of times that the state machine transitions from 
AUTHENTICATING to ABORTING, as a result of the Backend 
Authentication state machine indicating authentication timeout 
(authTimeout = TRUE). 

FailWhileAuthenticating 

Counts the number of times that the state machine transitions from 
AUTHENTICATING to HELD, as a result of the Backend 
Authentication state machine indicating authentication failure 
(authFail = TRUE). 

This table contains the diagnostic information regarding the
operation of the Authenticator associated with each port. The
user may choose the line card and port to view these statistics
for by using the pull-down menus in the top left and corner.
This window is identical for both MAC-based and port-based
802.1X, except for the inclusion of the MAC address for
MAC-based. To view the

The user can specify a switch in a switch stack using that
switch’s 

Unit

 ID by using the pull down menu in the top left

hand corner. The user may also select the desired time
interval to update the statistics, between 

1s 

and
