Update to the “Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication” Chapter

Common Session ID

Authentication manager uses a single session ID (referred to as a common session ID) for a client no

matter which authentication method is used. This ID is used for all reporting purposes, such as the show

commands and MIBs. The session ID appears with all per-session syslog messages.

The session ID includes:

• The IP address of the Network Access Device (NAD)

• A monotonically increasing unique 32 bit integer

• The session start time stamp (a 32 bit integer)

This example shows how the session ID appears in the output of the show authentication command.

The session ID in this example is 160000050000000B288508E5:
