Managing the Access Server 17-19
Displaying Information About the Access Server
The memory used for storing service and node
information is shared with that used for handling
multiple sessions and queued connection requests. If
the access server receives information on a greater
number of nodes than specified in the node limit
access server characteristic, it discards that
information and increments the Discarded Nodes
counter. However, if the node limit is not reached
but the access server could not find memory to store
the information, it discards the information and
increments both the Resource Errors and the
Discarded Nodes counter.
You can either reduce the value of the SESSION
LIMIT access server characteristic, adjust the value
of the node limit access server characteristic, or use
Authorized Groups to logically subdivide the
network for use by a discrete set of users.
Resource Errors Number of times an internal data structure could not
be created due to the lack of system memory.
Port Framing Errors Sum of bytes received at the access server ports with
illegally formatted data characters. Values other
than 0 might indicate a problem with one of the
ports. Use the port counters display to isolate the
port or ports generating the errors accumulated in
this counter.
Port Parity Errors Sum of bytes received at the access server ports with
parity errors. Values other than 0 might indicate a
problem with one of the ports. Use the port counters
display to isolate the port or ports generating the
errors accumulated in this counter.
Port Overrun Errors Sum of characters lost at the access server ports,
because the access server input buffers were full.
Values other than 0 might indicate a problem with
one of the ports. Use the port counters display to
isolate the port or ports generating the errors
accumulated in this counter.
Primary Host Name or IP address of the host from which the
access server was last loaded.
