Meaning:
A failed Ping test means that ICMP packets are either not getting to the server, or the responses aren't getting back.
Solution:
Check your firewall logs to see if the packets are arriving. If not, check your routing. If they are, then check to see if they're being DROPed or REJECTed. If you're confident that a response is being sent then please let Jisc know at govroam@jisc.ac.uk

Meaning:
A simple port scan of port 1812/udp was attempted and there was no response from the port. This implies that either the port is not open i.e. there isn't a daemon running on it, or that there is a firewall configured to not to respond to such scans. Dropping such packets isn't a problem as long as the server is able to respond to RADIUS auth requests.
Solution:
Check the state of the RADIUS daemon and ensure that it's up and running on port 1812/udp. If it is, then check your firewall(s) to see if they're configured to drop incoming connections.

Meaning:
Over the last day, the ORPS has been marked as 'down' by the NRPS. A server is marked as 'down' (or a Zombie) if it doesn't respond to an authentication query within 30s. If the ORPS is serving a Federation then the chances are that one of the Federation members isn't responding to a proxied query. If the ORPS isn't serving a Federation then it's a problem with the local configuration.
Solution:
An independently connected site needs to fix the configuration to ensure that the ORPS is sending a response to ALL auth requests. A Federation Operator nedds to check their logs to determine which members aren't sending responses and help them correct their configuration.

Meaning:
The Called-Station-ID contains the MAC address of the device the client connects to as well as, potentially, the SSID of the wireless network it connected to. The format of the MAC address is specified in RFC 3580 as 'XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX:SSID' with '-' being the only valid separator and all upper case. The SSID should be appended.
Having the Called-Station-ID included in proxied requests makes it possible to ensure that the SSID being broadcast matches the service requirements.
Solution:
Configure your wireless system to provide the CSI in the RFC3580 format.

Where possible (FreeRADIUS, radsecproxy, RADIATOR) Operator-Name should be configured to send the site identifier (in the format 1realm.name e.g. 1holby.nhs.uk).
