Description: Configures and monitors RADIUS authentication client on Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switches.

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 CIENA-CES-RADIUS-CLIENT-MIB?

CIENA-CES-RADIUS-CLIENT-MIB configures and monitors the RADIUS authentication client used for administrative access control on Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switches. Its data covers configuration (server addresses, shared secrets, retry/timeout parameters) and status/statistics (authentication attempt and response counts). Its monitoring value is chiefly in confirming that remote RADIUS servers are reachable and responding, and in tracking authentication failure/timeout counts that can indicate an outage of the centralized AAA infrastructure or a misconfigured shared secret, a software/service-availability health check. It implements client-side support for the standard RADIUS protocol (RFC 2865) as a Ciena-specific management MIB. It is used in carrier networks that rely on centralized AAA servers for administrative login control on Ciena CES switches, and the CIENA-CES-RADIUS-CLIENT-MIB MIB defines the client-side objects engineers poll to confirm those servers remain reachable.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-CES-RADIUS-CLIENT-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

  • Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were supplied for this module, so specific OIDs cannot be honestly cited; based on its stated purpose, however, an operator would typically poll per-server statistics such as authentication requests sent, responses received, and timeouts. A rising count of timeouts against a configured RADIUS server, with no corresponding rise in successful responses, would indicate that server or the network path to it has become unreachable.

What Can Be Monitored

  • configured RADIUS server addresses
  • authentication request/response counts
  • authentication timeout/failure counts
  • RADIUS client retry and timeout settings
