Displaying Information on Authentication Servers
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
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.
