Black Box 16 port, 24 port manual 0a000006

auth_port - the UDP port number for RADIUS authentication. The default value is 1645 which should match most RADIUS implementations. Change this value if your RADIUS host is using a different UDP port number.

acct_authenticator - a flag to instruct the unit to check the authenticator field in the accounting reply transmission from a RADIUS host to the unit. The authenticator field contains the secret, encrypted. The options are ‘on’ (the unit will check this field) or ‘off’ (the unit will not check this field); the default is ‘on’. Make sure the setting in your RADIUS host is the same as the unit.

session id - displays in real-time the hexadecimal value of the current session (incrementing with each session). The current session is the most recent connection into the unit when the line service is set to ‘cslogin’ (the default line service).

You can reset the session id to zero; enter 0s from your keyboard.

An explanation of the eight digit value displayed in the session id field is as follows:

the first two digits show the number of reboots which have taken place. The maximum number which will be shown is ff (255); on the next reboot, this value will reset itself to 01 (1).

the last six digits show the number of user sessions which have started since the last reboot (on reboot these six digits are reset to zero). The first session will be 000001, the second session will be 000002, etc. The maximum number of sessions is approximately 16 million, i.e. ffffff, at which point the counter would reset itself to all zeros, i.e. 000000.

An example of all eight digits in a session id is:

0a000006

which means there have been 10 reboots (0a) of this unit (since the counter was reset or wrapped around) and 6 (000006) sessions started since that reboot.

Sessions are measured through the RJ45 ports on the front panel; connections through any of the ports on the rear panel are not shown.
