Displaying Information About the Access Server

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

 

The memory used for storing service and node

 

information is shared with that used for handling

 

multiple sessions and queued connection requests. If

 

the access server receives information on a greater

 

number of nodes than specified in the node limit

 

access server characteristic, it discards that

 

information and increments the Discarded Nodes

 

counter. However, if the node limit is not reached

 

but the access server could not find memory to store

 

the information, it discards the information and

 

increments both the Resource Errors and the

 

Discarded Nodes counter.

 

You can either reduce the value of the SESSION

 

LIMIT access server characteristic, adjust the value

 

of the node limit access server characteristic, or use

 

Authorized Groups to logically subdivide the

 

network for use by a discrete set of users.

Resource Errors

Number of times an internal data structure could not

 

be created due to the lack of system memory.

Port Framing Errors

Sum of bytes received at the access server ports with

 

illegally formatted data characters. Values other

 

than 0 might indicate a problem with one of the

 

ports. Use the port counters display to isolate the

 

port or ports generating the errors accumulated in

 

this counter.

Port Parity Errors

Sum of bytes received at the access server ports with

 

parity errors. Values other than 0 might indicate a

 

problem with one of the ports. Use the port counters

 

display to isolate the port or ports generating the

 

errors accumulated in this counter.

Port Overrun Errors

Sum of characters lost at the access server ports,

 

because the access server input buffers were full.

 

Values other than 0 might indicate a problem with

 

one of the ports. Use the port counters display to

 

isolate the port or ports generating the errors

 

accumulated in this counter.

Primary Host

Name or IP address of the host from which the

 

access server was last loaded.
