Generate a new PAC file from the EAP-FAST server you are trying to monitor and make sure that the expiry time is set properly when generating the PAC file.
PEAP server is not available	PEAP	This fault can be caused by any of the following reasons: •PEAP monitoring is not enabled. •The WLSE IP Address is not configured as a NAS on the server. •The shared secret key does not match with the key configured on the server. •The server is unreachable. •EAP-GTC is required for reports and faults. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: PEAP server is available	Manage Fault Settings > AAA > PEAP > Response Time	Check the server configuration and make sure that: •PEAP monitoring is enabled under Manage Fault Settings > AAA> PEAP > Response time. •The WLSE IP address is configured as NAS on the authentication server. •If both NICs in the WLSE are assigned an IP, then both should be added as NAS in the PEAP authentication server. •The shared secret key matches the key configured on the server. •The WLSE requires EAP-GTC for PEAP monitoring, which is used for PEAP-related reports and faults. They will not work with MS-CHAPV2.
PEAP server is Degraded	PEAP	The fault threshold set for the degraded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: PEAP server is OK.	Manage Fault Settings > AAA > PEAP > Response Time	Verify that the fault threshold is set correctly. If the threshold is set correctly, review your network to determine the action necessary to clear the fault condition.
PEAP server is Overloaded	PEAP	The fault threshold set for the overloaded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: PEAP server is OK	Manage Fault Settings > AAA > PEAP > Response Time	Verify that the fault threshold is set correctly. If the threshold is set correctly, review your network to determine the action necessary to clear the fault condition.
RADIUS server is not available	PEAP	This fault can be caused by any of the following reasons: •The WLSE IP Address is not configured as a NAS on the server. •The shared secret key does not match with the key configured on the server. •The server is unreachable. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: RADIUS server is available	Manage Fault Settings > AAA > RADIUS > Response Time	Check your server configuration and make sure that: •The WLSE IP address is configured as NAS on the server. •The shared secret key matches the key configured on the server
RADIUS server is Degraded	PEAP	The fault threshold set for the degraded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: RADIUS server is OK.	Manage Fault Settings > AAA > RADIUS > Response Time	Verify that the fault threshold is set correctly. If the threshold is set correctly, review your network to determine the action necessary to clear the fault condition.
RADIUS server is Overloaded	PEAP	The fault threshold set for the overloaded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: RADIUS server is OK.

Fault Description	Explanation	Related Setting	Recommended Action
CPU utilization is Degraded (utilization %)	The fault threshold set for the degraded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: CPU utilization is Ok.	Manage Fault Settings > Switch > CPU Utilization	Verify that the fault threshold is set correctly. If the threshold is set correctly, review your network to determine the action necessary to clear the fault condition.
CPU utilization is Overloaded (utilization %)	The fault threshold set for the overloaded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: CPU utilization is Ok.	Manage Fault Settings > Switch > CPU Utilization	Verify that the fault threshold is set correctly. If the threshold is set correctly, review your network to determine the action necessary to clear the fault condition.
Device was not reachable via SNMP	The SNMP Agent on the switch is down. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: Device was reachable via SNMP.	Manage Fault Settings > Switch > SNMP Reachable	Make sure that the switch SNMP agent is active.
Module is down	The module is down. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: Module is up.	Manage Fault Settings > Switch > Module Status	Check the module in the switch and correct the problem.
Port could not agree with other end on duplex mode	The port could not agree with the far end on port duplex, and is in disagree(3) mode. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: Port duplex state is OK.	Not applicable.	Make sure the duplex mode on both ends match.
Switch memory utilization is Degraded (utilization %)	The fault threshold set for the degraded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: Switch memory utilization is Ok.	Manage Fault Settings > Switch > Memory Utilization	Verify that the fault threshold is set correctly. If the threshold is set correctly, review your network to determine the action necessary to clear the fault condition.
Switch memory utilization is Overloaded (utilization %)	The fault threshold set for the overloaded state has been exceeded. When this fault has been cleared, the following message displays: Switch memory utilization is Ok.
