Description: Monitors IEEE 802.1X Port Access Entity (PAE) authentication sessions and port-level statistics on H3C devices.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is A3COM-HUAWEI-8021PAE-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-8021PAE-MIB is an H3C (the joint 3Com-Huawei venture, "A3COM-Huawei") enterprise MIB extending the IEEE 802.1X Port Access Entity (PAE) standard for network access authentication. Its purpose is to add vendor-specific configuration and statistics on top of the standard 802.1X authenticator/supplicant model, tracking per-port authentication sessions. Its monitoring value is software/security status: it would typically expose per-port authentication state (authorized/unauthorized), session counts, and authentication statistics (success/failure counts, EAPOL packet counters) that reveal whether 802.1X port security is functioning correctly or whether users/devices are failing to authenticate. It explicitly extends the standard IEEE8021-PAE-MIB, depending on that base module's port and session object model. The A3COM-HUAWEI-8021PAE-MIB MIB is deployed on H3C (3Com/Huawei) enterprise switches in networks using 802.1X port-based network access control.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-8021PAE-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • H3C (3Com/Huawei) enterprise switch

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this MIB, so specific table or object names cannot be grounded to a concrete scenario; in typical 802.1X PAE extension usage, an administrator would poll per-port authentication state and session statistics to confirm ports are correctly authorizing/deauthorizing connected devices and to spot a rising rate of authentication failures indicating a misconfigured supplicant or credential problem.
