Abstract
Systems and methods for the tracking and use of the status of authentication servers by a network device are disclosed. Embodiments as disclosed may maintain a responsiveness status reflecting the responsiveness of each authentication server in a network at a network device utilized as an authenticator. When a request for authentication is received from a host at the network device the status of each of the plurality of the authentication servers can be checked. Only those authentication servers indicated as responsive may be utilized to attempt authentication. If the status of all authentication servers indicates that all the authentication servers are in an unresponsive state, an unresponsive action can be taken based without actually attempting to authenticate the host using those authentication servers.
