The table below shows the possible client status information that may be
reported by a Web-based or MAC-based ‘

show... clients’

command.

Reported Status

Available Network
Connection

Possible Explanations

authenticated

Authorized VLAN

Client authenticated. Remains
connected until logoff-period or
reauth-period expires.

authenticating

Switch only

Pending RADIUS request.

rejected-no vlan

No network access

1. Invalid credentials supplied.
2. RADIUS Server difficulties. See log

file.

3. If unauth-vid is specified it cannot be

successfully applied to the port. An
authorized client on the port has
precedence.

rejected-unauth vlan

Unauthorized VLAN only 1. Invalid credentials supplied.

2. RADIUS Server difficulties. See log

file.

timed out-no vlan

No network access

RADIUS request timed out. If unauth-
vid is specified it cannot be
successfully applied to the port. An
authorized client on the port has
precedence. Credentials resubmitted
after quiet-period expires.

timed out-unauth vlan

Unauthorized VLAN only

RADIUS request timed out. After the
quiet-period expires credentials are
resubmitted when client generates
traffic.

unauthenticated

Switch only

Waiting for user credentials.
