Managing Your Access Server As Part of the LAT Network

Field

Description

 

 

Multiple Node Addresses

Number of times that a node advertised itself with

 

a physical address different from that in a

 

previous advertisement.

Duplicates Received

Number of messages the access server received

 

from this node that were not in the correct

 

sequence. This value should be less then 1/1000 of

 

the value for Messages Received. This count

 

usually indicates that the service node is

 

retransmitting a message. If this value is higher

 

than the guideline, the access server might not be

 

handling the message traffic from the service

 

node, causing the service node to retransmit

 

messages.

Messages Retransmitted

Number of messages the access server

 

retransmitted to this node. This value should be

 

less than 1/1000 of the value for Messages

 

Transmitted. If this value is higher than the

 

guideline, the service node might not be handling

 

the access server message load.

Illegal Messages Received

Number of illegally formatted messages the

 

access server received from this node. This value

 

should be zero. A count of nonzero indicates a

 

possible software problem in either the access

 

server or the service node.

Illegal Slots Received

Number of illegally formatted slots the access

 

server received from this node. This value should

 

be zero. A count of nonzero indicates a possible

 

software problem in either the access server or the

 

service node.

Solicitations Accepted

Number of queued connection requests that the

 

access server has accepted, including queued

 

requests and request that were immediately

 

satisfied. The sum of the number of solicitations

 

accepted and the number of solicitations rejected

 

equals the number of queued connection requests

 

that were received by the access server.
