Show Commands for Port-Access Supplicant
Note on Supplicant Statistics. For each port configured as a supplicant, show port-access suppli-
cant statistics [e] < port-list >] displays the source MAC address and statistics for transactions with the
authenticator device most recently detected on the port. If the link between the supplicant port and
the authenticator device fails, the supplicant port continues to show data received from the connec-
tion to the most recent authenticator device until one of the following occurs:
The supplicant port detects a different authenticator device.
You use the aaa port-access supplicant [e] < port-list > clear-statistics command to clear the
statistics for the supplicant port.
The switch reboots.
Thus, if the supplicant’s link to the authenticator fails, the supplicant retains the transaction statistics
it most recently received until one of the above events occurs. Also, if you move a link with an
authenticator from one supplicant port to another without clearing the statistics data from the first
port, the authenticator’s MAC address will appear in the supplicant statistics for both ports.
Syntax: show port-access supplicant [[e] < port-list >] [statistics]
show port-access supplicant [[e] < port-list >]
Shows the port-access supplicant configuration
(excluding the secret parameter) for all ports or < port-
list > ports configured on the switch as supplicants. The
Supplicant State can include the following:
Connecting - Starting authentication.
Authenticated - Authentication completed (regardless
of whether the attempt was successful).
Acquired - The port received a request for
identification from an authenticator.
Authenticating - Authentication is in progress.
Held - Authenticator sent notice of failure. The
supplicant port is waiting for the authenticator’s
held-period (page 59).
For descriptions of the supplicant parameters, refer to
“Configuring a Supplicant Switch Port” on page 59.
show port-access supplicant [[e] < port-list >] statistics
Shows the port-access statistics and source MAC
address(es) for all ports or < port-list > ports configured
on the switch as supplicants. See the “Note on Suppli-
