Index (casIndex)

Protocol (casProtocol)

IP Address (casAddress)

Requests (casAuthenRequests)

Request Timeouts (casAuthenRequestTimeouts)

Unexpected Resp (casAuthenUnexpectedResponses)

Server Error Resp (casAuthenServerErrorResponses)

Incorrect Resp (casAuthenIncorrectResponses)

Resp Time (casAuthenResponseTime)

Trans Successes (casAuthenTransactionSuccesses)

Trans Failures (casAuthenTransactionFailures)


Index (casIndex)

AAA Server Table index.


Protocol (casProtocol)

Protocol used with this server.

tacacsplus(1) represents TACACS+

radius(2) represents RADIUS


IP Address (casAddress)

Server IP address.


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.


Resp Time (casAuthenResponseTime)

Average response time for authentication requests sent to server since system reinitialization, excluding timeouts.


Trans Successes (casAuthenTransactionSuccesses)

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 Failures (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.
