Managing Your Access Server As Part of the LAT Network

Field

Description

 

 

Solicitations Rejected

Number of queued connection requests that the

 

access server has rejected. 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. A rejected request might indicate a

 

configuration problem at the access server or

 

service node; for example, the port names do not

 

match or a port has the incorrect access type.

 

 

Viewing LAT Node Summary Information

The SHOW NODE SUMMARY command produces a line of information for each selected service node. This display is useful to determine if a service node is reachable. The node summary is the default display class for the NODE and NODE ALL entity specifications.

Every service node name and access server name should be unique so as to allow other service nodes and users to distinguish among access servers. A unique access server name is necessary for an access server that is used for queued connection requests or for an access server to act as a service node.

The access server knows a service node by the node’s Ethernet address and node name. If you use the SET/DEFINE/CHANGE SERVER NAME command and you specify an access server name that is already being used by another node, other LAT nodes may replace your access server name with a default LAT name to make your access server name unique. The default is in the following format:

LAT nnnnnnnnnnnn

The value nnnnnnnnnnnn is the unhyphenated, 12-digit Ethernet address of the second service node, which is used on the node summary displays.

Ports with LIMITED VIEW
