Authentication Diagnostics

The Authentication Diagnostics tab (Figure 110) contains a summary of the Access Point

authenticator events received from a backend authentication server. These events are generated for

any RADIUS based authentication and can include WPA (EAP based) or MAC-ACL

authentication.

Figure 110: Security Statistics - Authentication Diagnostics

The tab contains the following information:

TX EAPOL The total number of EAPOL frames transmitted by this BP.

TX EAPOL-Start The total number of EAPOL-Start frames transmitted by the BP. This count

goes up as the BP requests the AP to start its authentication sequence.

TX EAPOL-Logoff The total number of EAPOL-Logoff frames transmitted by the BP. This count

will not increment as the BP does not send this 8021.x frame for security

reasons.

TX EAPOL Response-

The total number of EAPOL based EAP Response-ID frames transmitted by

this BP. This count increments as the BP sends authentication frames to the

AP with its device-id information at the very start of the authentication

sequence.

TX EAPOL Response The total number of EAPOL based EAP Response frames transmitted by the

BP that do not contain an EAP Response-ID. This count increments as the BP

transmits authentication credentials derived certificates to the AP that is

authenticating with it.
