Status and Statistics Monitoring

The ACLI show radius command, used with the three arguments described below, displays the status of any established RADIUS accounting connections and authentications. A working RADIUS connection displays READY, and a disabled connection displays DISABLED.

When an accounting server is disabled, the triggering and clearing of RADIUS ACCOUNTING CONNECTION DOWN alarms is not affected.

For more information about SBC about monitoring your SBC, refer to the Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide.

ACLI Show RADIUS Display

The show radius command can take one of the three available arguments:

  • authentication—Shows authentication statistics for primary and secondary RADIUS servers, including: server IP address and port; round trip time; information about failed and successful requests/authentications; number of rejections; number of challenges; number of time-outs, number of retransmissions
  • accounting—Shows the information described in this table:
    • Client Display—General accounting setup (as established in the accounting configuration element), including information about the state of the RADIUS client, accounting strategy used (Hunt, Failover, RoundRobin, FastestRTT, or FewestPending), IP address and port on which the server is listening, maximum message delay in seconds, and number of configured accounting servers.
    • Waiting Queue—Amount of accounting (RADIUS) messages waiting to be sent. Waiting queue capacity is 4,096 messages.
    • <IP Address:Port>—Information about each configured accounting server (established in the accounting servers configuration). The heading above each accounting server section is the IPv4 address and port combination of the accounting server described. This section also includes information about the accounting server’s state (e.g., Connect_Attempt, INIT).
  • all—Shows all of the information for both the authentication and accounting displays

The following is an example of the ACLI show radius authentication command output.
