Port Access Control Statistics Fields
Description
The interface associated with the rest of the data in the row. When viewing detailed information for an
interface, this field identifies the interface being viewed.
The Port Access Entity (PAE) role, which is one of the following:
• Authenticator The port enforces authentication and passes authentication information from a
remote supplicant (similar to a client or host) to the authentication server. If the server successfully
authenticates the supplicant, the port allows access.
• Supplicant The port must be granted permission by the authentication server before it can
access the remote authenticator port.
The total number of valid EAPOL frames received on the interface.
The total number of EAPOL frames sent by the interface.
The protocol version number attached to the most recently received EAPOL frame.
The source MAC address attached to the most recently received EAPOL frame.
The total number of EAPOL-Start frames received on the interface. EAPOL-Start frames are sent by a
supplicant to initiate the 802.1X authentication process when it connects to the interface. This field is
displayed only if the interface is configured as an authenticator.
The total number of EAPOL-Logoff frames received on the interface. EAPOL-Logoff frames are sent by
a supplicant to indicate that it is disconnecting from the network, and the interface can return to the
unauthorized state. This field is displayed only if the interface is configured as an authenticator.
