Table 1: show network-access aaa radius-servers Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Level of Output

Profile

Name of the profile associated with the RADIUS server. A RADIUS server can be associated with more than one profile.

All levels

Server address

IPv4 or IPv6 address of the RADIUS server.

All levels

Authentication port

RADIUS server authentication port number.

All levels

Preauthentication port

RADIUS server preauthentication port number.

All levels

Accounting port

RADIUS server accounting port number.

All levels

Accounting retry

Number of times the router retransmits RADIUS accounting messages when no response is received from the server.

Detail

Accounting timeout

Period the local router waits to receive a response from a RADIUS accounting server before retransmitting the message.

Detail

Status

RADIUS server status, UP (Alive), UNREACHABLE, or DOWN (DEAD).

If status is DOWN, the Status field includes the number of seconds configured by the revert-interval statement. The router does not send requests to servers in the DOWN state, but does send requests to servers with a status of either UP or UNREACHABLE.

This field also displays the status of AAA accounting suspension or resumption, and the status of baselining of accounting statistics if you suspended or resumed accounting operations or initiated the generation of a baseline. This information is applicable only for RADIUS servers that are in the UP state.

Note:

After requests to a server or set of servers time out after 10 seconds, the status of the servers changes. The following guidelines apply to server status:

  • For the purpose of marking a server as Down (DEAD), the request includes the original request and any retries that are configured. The 10-second timeout period starts after the initial request and all retries have expired without receiving a response from the server.

    The amount of the timeout period that elapses before the server is marked Down is not always exactly 10 seconds, and can vary depending on how frequently subscribers are logging in. When subscribers are continually and rapidly logging in, the server is marked as Down at 10 seconds. However, if subscribers are logging in less frequently and at a slower pace, then the server is not marked Down until a subsequent subscriber attempts to log in.

  • All servers cannot be marked as DOWN; instead, the unresponsive servers are marked as UNREACHABLE.

    For example, if only one RADIUS server is configured and that server is unresponsive, the server status is marked as UNREACHABLE rather than DOWN.

  • If at least one server has a status of UP, the status of all unresponsive servers is set to DOWN for the remainder of the configured revert-interval setting.

  • If no server has a status of UP, then the status of the unresponsive servers is set to UNREACHABLE for the remainder of the revert-interval setting or for 30 seconds, whichever is less.

  • The status of unresponsive servers is returned to UP from DOWN or UNREACHABLE at the end of the revert-interval setting (or the 30-second interval).

  • If no requests are sent to a server, the server’s status is always UP.
