Displaying Information on Authentication Servers
– 246 –
■
Unknown Types – The number of RADIUS packets of unknown
types that were received from the server on the accounting port.
■
Packets Dropped – The number of RADIUS packets that were
received from the server on the accounting port and dropped for
some other reason.
◆
Transmit Packets
■
Requests – The number of RADIUS packets sent to the server. This
does not include retransmissions.
■
Retransmissions – The number of RADIUS packets retransmitted
to the RADIUS accounting server.
■
Pending Requests – The number of RADIUS packets destined for
the server that have not yet timed out or received a response. This
variable is incremented when a Request is sent and decremented
due to receipt of a Response, timeout, or retransmission.
■
Timeouts – The number of accounting 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 accounting server.
■
State – The current state of the server. It 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 accounting
attempts.
■
Dead (X seconds left) – Accounting attempts were made to this
server, but it did not reply within the configured timeout. The
server has temporarily been disabled, but will get re-enabled
when the dead-time expires. The number of seconds left before
this occurs is displayed in parentheses. This state is only
reachable when more than one server is enabled.
■
Round-Trip Time – The time interval (measured in milliseconds)
between the most recent Response and the Request that matched it
from the RADIUS accounting 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.
