General Command Syntax
Prime Access Registrar stores its configuration information in a hierarchy. Using the aregcmd command cd (change directory), you can move through this information in the same manner as you would through any hierarchical file system. Or you can supply full pathnames to these commands to affect another part of the hierarchy, and thus avoid explicitly using the cd command to change to that part of the tree.
- aregcmd command parsing is case insensitive, which means you can use upper or lowercase letters to designate elements. In addition, when you reference existing elements in the configuration, you need only specify enough of the element’s name to distinguish it from the other elements at that level. For example, instead of entering cd Administrators, you can enter cd ad when no other element at the current level begins with ad.
- aregcmd command parsing is command-line order dependent; that is, the arguments are interpreted based on their position on the command line. To indicate an empty string as a place holder on the command line, use either single (') or double quotes (""). In addition, when you use any arguments that contain spaces, you must quote the arguments. For example, when you use the argument, “ Local Users,” you must enclose the phrase in quotes.
The aregcmd command can contain a maximum of 255 characters when specifying a parameter and 511 characters for the entire command.
The aregcmd command syntax is:
aregcmd [ -C <clustername> ] [ -N <adminname> ] [ -P <adminpassword> ] [ -V ]
[ -f <scriptfile> ] [ -l <directoryname> ] [ -n ] [ <command> [ <args> ]] [ -p ] [ -q ] [ -v ]
- -C —Specifies the name of the cluster to log into by default
- -N —Specifies the name of the administrator
- -P —Specifies the password
- -V —Specifies view-only mode
- -f —Specifies a file that can contain a series of commands
- -l —Specifies a directory where the Prime Access Registrar license file is stored and returns information about licensed components
- -n —Turns off prefix mode
- -p —Specifies prefix mode
- -q —Turns off verbose mode
- -v —Specifies verbose mode
Note
The verbose (-v) and prefix (-p) modes are on by default when you run aregcmd interactively (for example, not entered on the command line or not running commands from a script file). Otherwise, verbose and prefix modes are off.
When you include a command (with the appropriate arguments) on the command line, aregcmd runs only that one command and saves any changes.
This section contains the following topics:
View-Only Administrator Mode
Previous releases of Prime Access Registrar provided only super-user administrative access. If you were able to log into aregcmd, you could do anything to the system, including starting and stopping the system and changing the configuration. Prime Access Registrar provides view-only administrative access. View-only access restricts an administrator to only being able to observe the system and prevents that user from making changes.
View-only access can be encountered in three ways:
- Specific administrators can be restricted to view-only access whenever they log in.
- Administrators not restricted to view-only access can choose to start aregcmd in a view-only mode. This might be used when an administrator wants to ensure that he or she does not make any changes.
- When an administrator who is not view-only logs in to a slave server, they will be unable to make changes to any parts of the configuration other than /Radius/Replication, /Radius/Advanced/Ports, /Radius/Advanced/Interfaces or the properties in /Radius/Advanced. This is because the rest of the configuration is replicated from the master server and changes directly to the slave will cause problems.
Note
When a user logs in, the system determines whether a user’s session is view-only or not. If the configuration is changed after a user has logged in, that change does not take effect until the affected user logs out and logs back in.
ViewOnly Property
The ViewOnly property has been added to the Administrators configuration. The default setting for the ViewOnly property is FALSE. The following shows the default setting for the admin user:
cd /Administrators/admin
[ //localhost/Administrators/admin ]
You can designate specific administrators to be view-only administrators by setting the new ViewOnly property to TRUE.
- If that property is set to TRUE, any time the administrator logs in to aregcmd the session will be in view-only mode.
- If set to FALSE, when the administrator logs in to a master server, the session will be full super-user capability.
If the administrator logs in to a slave, they only part of the configuration they will be able to modify is that part under /Radius/Replication, /Radius/Advanced/Ports, /Radius/Advanced/Interfaces or the properties in /Radius/Advanced.
When in a view-only session, the following commands will cause an error: add, delete, set, unset, insert, validate, save, start, stop, reload, reset-stats, release-sessions, and trace. The following error message will be displayed:
316 Command failed: session is ViewOnly
When in a slave server session, the following commands will cause an error when the object or property being operated on is not under /Radius/Replication, /Radius/Advanced/Ports, /Radius/Advanced/Interfaces or the properties in /Radius/Advanced : add, delete, set, unset, and insert. The following error message will be displayed:
317 Command failed: session is ViewOnly
Configuration Objects
The Prime Access Registrar aregcmd command lets you manipulate configuration objects, that define properties or the behavior of the RADIUS server, such as valid administrators and types of services. For descriptions of those objects, see Chapter5, “Configuring and Monitoring the RADIUS Server”
aregcmd Command Performance
You can impact aregcmd command performance and server response time by having Prime Access Registrar userlists that contain more than 10,000 users. Prime Access Registrar userlists were not designed to contain 10,000 users in any one list.
If you must provide service for groups greater than 10000 users, we recommend that you use an external data store such as an LDAP directory or an Oracle database. If you are unable to use an external data store, create multiple userlists instead, keeping each userlist under 10,000 users.
Multiple userlists require multiple services (one for each userlist), because a service cannot reference more than one userlist. The multiple services can then be combined using the Service Grouping feature with ResultRule, OR, as follows:
[ //localhost/Radius/Services/GroupService ]
RPC Bind Services
The Prime Access Registrar server and the aregcmd CLI requires RPC services to be running before the server is started. If the RPC services are stopped, you must restart RPC services, then restart the Prime Access Registrar server.
Use the following commands to restart RPC services:
arserver stop
/etc/init.d/rpc start
arserver start
If RPC services are not running, the following message is displayed when you attempt to start aregcmd:
Login to aregcmd fails with the message:
aregcmd Commands
This section contains the complete list of aregcmd commands. You can use them on the command line or insert them into scripts. The commands are listed alphabetically.
This section contains the following topics:
add
Use the aregcmd command add to create new elements in the configuration. The add command is context sensitive, which means the type of element added is determined by the current context, or the path specified as the first parameter. The add command has one required argument; the name of the element you wish to add. You can also provide other parameters, or you can supply this information after aregcmd has added the new element. The optional second argument is a description of the element.
The syntax is:
add [ <path> / ] <name> [...]
cd
Use the aregcmd command cd to change the working context, or level in the configuration hierarchy. When you use the cd command without any parameters, it returns you to the root of the tree. When you use the optional path argument, you can specify a new context. To change to a higher level in the tree hierarchy, use the “..” syntax (as you would in a UNIX file system). When you change to a new context, aregcmd displays the contents of the new location, when you are using the command in interactive mode, or if verbose mode is on.
The syntax is:
cd [ <path> ]
delete
Use the aregcmd command delete to remove an element from the configuration hierarchy. You cannot remove properties on an element; you can only remove entire elements. The delete command is recursive; that is, it will remove any subelements contained within an element being removed. When the element is in the current context, you need only provide the name of the element to be deleted. You can optionally provide a complete path to an element elsewhere in the configuration hierarchy.
The syntax is:
delete [ <path> / ] <name>
exit
Use the aregcmd command exit to terminate your aregcmd session. If you have any unsaved modifications, Prime Access Registrar asks if you want to save them before exiting. Any modifications you don’t choose to save are lost.
The syntax is:
exit
filter
Use the aregcmd command filter to display a selected view of a list. You can use the filter command to present only the elements of a list that have properties equal to the value you specify. You can also use the filter command to restore the view of the list after it has been filtered.
When using the filter command, you must provide a property name and a value, and you can optionally provide the path to the list. Prime Access Registrar displays a list with only those elements that have a value equal to the specified value. When you want to filter the current context, you can omit the path argument.
The filter command is sticky, in that, after you have filtered a list, you must explicitly unfilter it before you can view the complete list again. To restore the unrestricted view of the list, use the filter command and specify the string all. To restore the list in current context, you can omit the pathname.
The syntax is:
filter [ <path> ] <property> <value>
or
filter [ <path> ] all
find
Use the aregcmd command find to locate a specific item in a list. The find command takes one required argument, which is a full or partial pathname. After you use the command, Prime Access Registrar displays a page beginning with the entry that most closely matches the pathname you provided.
The syntax is:
find <path>
help
Use the aregcmd command help (with no argument specified) to display a brief overview of the command syntax. When you specify the name of a command, Prime Access Registrar displays help for only that command.
The syntax is:
help [ <command> ]
insert
Use the aregcmd command insert to add an item anywhere in ordered list. The required parameters are the numeric index of the position in the list in which you want to insert the new item, and the item value. When the list to which you are adding is not the current context, you can specify the complete path to the position in the list by prepending the path for the list to the numeric index. After the new value has been inserted into the list, Prime Access Registrar appropriately renumbers the list.
The syntax is:
insert [ <path> / ] <index> <value>
This command applies to lists of servers by index and the Resource Managers list in Session Managers.
login
Use the aregcmd command login to connect to a cluster, which contains the RADIUS server and definition of the authorized administrators. When you do not specify the cluster, admin name, and password, aregcmd prompts you for them.
When you are currently logged in to a cluster, the login command allows you to connect to another cluster. When you have changes in the current cluster that you have not saved, aregcmd asks if you want to save them before logging into another cluster. Any changes you do not save are lost.
After you successfully log in, and if the server is running, Prime Access Registrar displays the cluster server’s health. Note, to log into a cluster, the Prime Access Registrar Server Agent for that cluster must be running.
The syntax is:
login [ <cluster> [ <name> [ <password> ]]]
logout
Use the aregcmd command logout to log out of the current cluster. After you log out, you have to log into make any modifications to the configuration hierarchy, or to manage the server(s). When you have any unsaved modifications, Prime Access Registrar asks if you want to save them before logging out. Any modifications you do not choose to save are lost.
The syntax is:
logout
ls
Use the aregcmd command ls to list the contents of a level in the configuration hierarchy. This command works much like the UNIX ls command. When you use it without any parameters, it lists the items in the current context. When you specify a path, it lists the elements found in that context. When you use the -R argument, it recursively lists all of the elements in and below the specified (or current) context.
For similar commands, refer to the next and prev commands.
The syntax is:
ls [ -R ] [ <path> ]
next
Use the aregcmd next command to review the remaining pages produced from the ls command. Every time you use the cd command, it automatically invokes the ls command to display the contents of the location. When the output from the ls command is more than one page (a page is about 24 lines) in length, Prime Access Registrar displays only the first page.
Note
ls command retrieves only user-added objects such as Users, UserLists, and attributes.
The next command takes an optional path and count. The path specifies the context in which you wish to see the next page and the count specifies the number of lines you wish to see. When you use the next command without the path, Prime Access Registrar uses the current context. When you do not specify a count, Prime Access Registrar uses the last count value you used with the next or prev command. If you never specify a count, Prime Access Registrar uses the default value, which is 20.
Note, the current page for a context is sticky. This means, for example, when you use the next command to view entries 20 through 30, until you use the next or prev command on the same context, you will continue to see these entries even if you use the cd command to change to a different context, then return to the original.
The syntax is:
next [ <path> ] [ <count> ]
prev
Use the aregcmd command prev to page backwards through the output of the ls command. It behaves much like the next command, in that it takes an optional path identifying a context to display and a count parameter indicating how many lines to display.
The syntax is:
prev [ <path> ] [ <count> ]
pwd
Use the aregcmd command pwd to display the absolute pathname of the current context (level in the configuration hierarchy).
The syntax is:
pwd
query-sessions
Use the aregcmd command query-sessions to query the server about the currently active user sessions. You can request information about all of the active sessions or just those sessions that match the type you specify.
The syntax is:
query-sessions <path> [ all ]
or
query-sessions <path> with- <type> <value> [send-CoA [with-profile <profile name>] ]
or
query-sessions <path> with-Attribute <name> <value> [send-CoA [with-profile <profile name>] ]
Where <path> is the path to the server, Session Manager, or Resource Manager to query and with- <type> is one of the following: with-NAS, with-User, with-IP-Address, with-IPX-Network, with-USR-VPN, with-Key, with-ID or with-Age. The optional [with-profile <profile name>] parameter indicates a profile name as configured in /Radius/Profiles.
The query-sessions command with an optional [ send-CoA ] at the end causes the Prime Access Registrar server to send a Change of Authorization (CoA) request to the client. The CoA request includes the CoA attributes configured for the client. When the optional profile name is also included in the command, the Prime Access Registrar server includes the attribute-value (AV) pairs from the corresponding profile in /Radius/Profiles in the CoA request.
quit
Use the aregcmd command quit to terminate your aregcmd session. You can use it interchangeably with the exit command.
The syntax is:
quit
When you quit the aregcmd command, if you have made changes, the Prime Access Registrar server asks if you want to save the changes. Any unsaved changes are lost.
release-sessions
Use the aregcmd command release-sessions to request the server to release one or more currently active user sessions. This command might be useful, for example, in the case where you have taken a NAS offline, however, the server believes user sessions for that NAS are still active.
The syntax is one of:
release-sessions <path> all
or
release-sessions <path> with- <type> <value> [ send-pod ] [ send-notification ]
or
release-sessions <path> with-Attribute <name> <value> [ send-pod ] [ send-notification ]
Where <path> is the path to the server, Session Manager, or Resource Manager to query and with- <type> is one of the following: with-NAS, with-User, with-IP-Address, with-IPX-Network, with-USR-VPN, with-Key, or with-ID.
The optional [send-pod <send notification>] parameter sends the disconnect packet to the NAS to clear sessions and an Accounting-Stop notification to the client listed in the session record.
The optional with-Attribute parameter enables release a session based on a specific attribute and value.
reload
Use the aregcmd command reload to stop the server (when it is running), and then immediately start the server, forcing it to reread its configuration information. When you have modified the configuration hierarchy, Prime Access Registrar asks you if you want to save your changes before restarting the server. You must save your changes in order for the reloaded server to be able to use them.
The syntax is:
reload
reset-stats
Use the aregcmd command reset-stats to reset all server statistics displayed with the stats command. The reset-stats command also resets SNMP counters.
The reset-stats command provides a way of resetting the server statistics without having to reload or restart the server.
The syntax is:
reset-stats
save
Use the aregcmd command save to validate the changes you made and commit them to the configuration database, if no errors are found.
Note
Using the save command does not automatically update the running server. To update the server, you must use the reload command.
The syntax is:
save

set
Use the aregcmd command set to provide values for properties on existing configuration elements. You only need to provide the set command with the name of the property you wish to set (or just enough of the name to distinguish it from other properties) and the new value for that property. It also applies to the Profiles attribute list, the Rules attributes list, the enumeration list in the Attribute dictionary, and the LDAPtoRadiusMappings and LDAPtoEnvironmentMappings mappings.
The set command can also be used to order servers in a list. To specify a new position in a list for a server, use the set command and provide the numeric position of the server and the server’s name.
The syntax is:
set [ <path> /] <property> <value>
When the list is a list of servers by index, the syntax is:
set [ <path> / ] <index> <server name>
Note
If the index is already in use, the old server name will be replaced by the new server name.
To remove a value from a property (make a property equal to NULL), use a pair of single or double quotes as the value, as shown below:
set <property> ""
When you need to set an attribute to a value that includes a space, you must double-quote the value, as in the following:
set Framed-Route "192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1"
start
Use the aregcmd command start to enable the server to handle requests. When the configuration hierarchy has been modified, Prime Access Registrar asks you if you want to save the changes before starting the server.
The syntax is:
start
stats
Use the aregcmd command stats to provide statistical information on the specified server. You can only issue this command when the server is running.
Note that aregcmd supports the PAGER environment variable. When the aregcmd stats command is used and the PAGER environment variable is set, the stats command output is displayed using the program specified by the PAGER environment variable.
The syntax is:
stats
The following is an example of the statistical information provided for remote server after you issue the stats command:
RemoteServer statistics for:ServerA, 209.165.201.1, port 1812
totalRequestsOutstanding = 0
totalRequestsTimedOut = 0
totalRequestsAcknowledged = 14
totalResponsesDroppedForNotInCache = 0
totalResponsesDroppedForSignatureMismatch = 0
totalRequestsDroppedAfterMaxTries = 0
lastRequestTime = Mon Feb 18 17:19:46 2013
lastAcceptTime = Mon Feb 18 17:18:11 2013
Table 4-2 lists the statistics displayed for the remote server by the stats command and the meaning of the values.

Number of requests currently proxied that have not yet returned |
totalRequestsTimedOut |
Number of requests that have timed out since last server restart or number requests not returned from proxy server within the [configured] initial timeout interval |
totalRequestsAcknowledged |
Number of responses received since last server restart |
totalResponsesDroppedForNotInCache |
Number of responses dropped because their ID did not match the ID of any Pending requests |
totalResponsesDroppedForSignatureMismatch |
Number of responses dropped because their response authenticator did not decode to the correct shared secret |
totalRequestsDroppedAfterMaxTries |
Number of requests dropped because no response was received after retrying the configured number of times. This value is different from totalRequestsTimedOut because using the default configuration values, no response within 2000 ms bumps the TimedOut counter, but it waits 14000 ms (2000 + 4000 + 8000) to bump this counter. |

Diameter Peer statistics for: dia, 10.81.79.76, port 3868
cdbpPeerStatsState = Closed
cdbpPeerStatsRedirectEvents = 0
cdbpPeerStatsAccDupRequests = 0
cdbpPeerStatsMalformedReqsts = 0
cdbpPeerStatsAccsNotRecorded = 0
cdbpPeerStatsWhoInitDisconnect = 0
cdbpPeerStatsAccRetrans = 0
cdbpPeerStatsTotalRetrans= 0
cdbpPeerStatsAccPendReqstsOut = 0
cdbpPeerStatsAccReqstsDropped = 0
cdbpPeerStatsHByHDropMessages = 0
cdbpPeerStatsEToEDupMessages= 0
cdbpPeerStatsUnknownTypes= 0
cdbpPeerStatsProtocolErrors = 0
cdbpPeerStatsTransientFailures = 0
cdbpPeerStatsPermanentFailures = 0
cdbpPeerStatsDWCurrentStatus= 2
cdbpPeerStatsTransportDown = 0
cdbpPeerStatsTimeoutConnAtmpts = 0
For detailed information about the Diameter peer stats, see the “Using the Graphical User Interface” chapter of the Cisco Prime Access Registrar 8.0 User Guide.
dia-stats-reset
Use the aregcmd command dia-stats-reset to reset Diameter statistics displayed with the stats command. The dia- stats-reset command also resets SNMP counters.
The dia- stats-reset command provides a way of resetting the Diameter statistics without having to reload or restart the server.
The syntax is:
dia-stats-reset
trace
Use the aregcmd command trace to set the trace level in the specified server to a new value. The trace level governs how much information is displayed about the contents of a packet. When the trace level is zero, no tracing is performed. The higher the trace level, the more information displayed. The highest trace level currently used by the Prime Access Registrar server is trace level 5.
Note
Although the highest trace level supported by the Prime Access Registrar server is trace level 5, an extension point script might use a higher level. There is no harm in setting the trace to a level higher than 5. However, increasing the trace level impacts the system performance.
The trace levels are inclusive, meaning that if you set trace to level 3, you will also get the information reported for trace levels 1 and 2. If you set trace level 4, you also get information reported for trace levels 1, 2, and 3.
When you do not specify a server, Prime Access Registrar sets the trace level for all of the servers in the current cluster. When you do not specify a value for the trace level, Prime Access Registrar displays the current value of the trace level. The default is 0.
The syntax for setting the trace level is:
trace [ <server> ] [ <level> ]
Table 4-4 lists the different trace levels and the information returned.
Table 4-4 Trace Levels and Information Returned
|
Information Returned by Trace Command
|
0 |
No trace performed. |
1 |
Reports when a packet is sent or received or when there is a change in a remote server’s status. |
2 |
Indicates the following:
- Which services and session managers are used to process a packet
- Which client and vendor objects are used to process a packet
- Detailed remote server information for LDAP and RADIUS, such as sending a packet and timing out
- Details about poorly formed packets
- Details included in trace level 1
|
3 |
Indicates the following:
- Error traces in TCL scripts when referencing invalid RADIUS attributes.
- Which scripts have been executed
- Details about local UserList processing
- Details included in trace levels 1 and 2
|
4 |
Indicates the following:
- Information about advanced duplication detection processing
- Details about creating, updating, and deleting sessions
- Trace details about all scripting APIs called
- Details included in trace levels 1, 2, and 3
|
5 |
Indicates the following:
- Details about use of the policy engine including:
– Which rules were run – What the rules did – If the rule passed or failed – Detailed information about which policies were called
- Details included in trace levels 1, 2, 3, and 4

trace-file-count
Use the aregcmd command trace-file-count to change the trace log file count dynamically without requiring a server reload. The syntax is:
trace-file-count n
Where n is a number that specifies the number of trace log files. This function is helpful for debugging situations when you do not want to perform a reload.
unset
Use the aregcmd command unset to remove items from an ordered list. Specify the numeric index of the element to remove. When the ordered list is not the current context, specify the path to the list before specifying the numeric index.
When you remove an item from the list, Prime Access Registrar renumbers the list.
The syntax is:
unset [ <path> /] <index>
This command applies to lists of servers by index, the Profiles attribute list, the Rules Attributes list, the enumeration list in the Attribute dictionary, and the LDAPtoRadiusMappings and LDAPtoEnvironmentMappings mappings.
validate
Use the aregcmd command validate to check the consistency and validity of the specified server’s configuration. If Prime Access Registrar discovers any errors, it displays them.
The syntax is:
validate
