Managing the Access Server
18-18
Discarded Nodes Number of nodes that could not be entered into the access server
database, because of the value set for the node limit characteristic
or because of a lack of memory. If this count is nonzero, the access
server might be experiencing resource problems.
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. 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.
Primary Host Name or IP address of the host from which the access server was
last loaded.
Load Address Ethernet address of the node or the gateway from which the access
server was last loaded. Some access servers display all zeroes if a
downline load occurs using BOOTP and TFTP.
Dump Address Ethernet address of the node or gateway that received the last up-
line dump. Some access servers display all zeroes if a dump is to
an Internet host.
