Managing the Access Server
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.
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.
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.
