AAA Authentication monitors the authentication statistics of the server. The statistics is the delta value(present value - previous value) for a polling interval and the unit of measurement is "Nos/Interval".

Procedure

  1. Right-click the device, then select AAA.

  2. Select a row of the Server Configuration Table, then click Authentication.

The following information appears:

Requests (casAuthenRequests)

Request Timeouts (casAuthenRequestTimeouts)

Unexpected Resp (casAuthenUnexpectedResponses)

Server Error Resp (casAuthenServerErrorResponses)

Incorrect Resp (casAuthenIncorrectResponses)

Trans Successes (casAuthenTransactionSucesses)

Trans Failure (casAuthenTransactionFailures)


Requests (casAuthenRequests)

Number of authentication requests sent to server when it is active.

Retransmissions due to timeout requests are counted as distinct requests.


Request Timeouts (casAuthenRequestTimeouts)

Number of authentication requests timed out since the server was made active.

Timeout results in a retransmission request. Retransmissions stop when number of requests reaches maximum.


Unexpected Resp (casAuthenUnexpectedResponses)

Number of unexpected authentication responses received since the server was made active. For example, a delayed response to a timed out request.


Server Error Resp (casAuthenServerErrorResponses)

Number of server ERROR authentication responses received since the server was made active.

These responses mean that the server identified an error with its authentication operation.


Incorrect Resp (casAuthenIncorrectResponses)

Number of unprocessed authentication responses since the server was made active.

Reasons are inability to decrypt response, invalid fields, or an invalid response to the request.


Trans Successes (casAuthenTransactionSucesses)

Number of successful authentication transactions with this server since it was made active.

A transaction includes multiple retransmission requests when timeouts occur.

A transaction is successful when the server responds with either an authentication pass or fail.


Trans Failure (casAuthenTransactionFailures)

Number of failed authentication transactions with this server since it was made active.

A transaction includes multiple retransmission requests when timeouts occur.

A transaction failure occurs when resends reach maximum or the server aborts the transaction.
