Description: The Eltex MES 802.1X MIB, covering port-based network access control along with supplicant configuration and authentication state.
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 ELTEX-MES-DOT1X?
ELTEX-MES-DOT1X is a private MIB for Eltex MES-series metro Ethernet switches that manages IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control, including MAC-based authentication configuration and RADIUS attribute formatting. It exposes configuration objects controlling how RADIUS NAS-Port and MAC-authentication usernames are formatted (letter case, separators, grouping, password handling), reflecting policy/configuration state rather than live traffic counters. In terms of hardware/software status, its main monitoring value is in verifying that 802.1X/MAC-authentication policy configuration is correctly applied so that ports authenticate clients as intended; it is not primarily a fault or performance-counter MIB. Given its subject matter it has a clear conceptual dependency on the IEEE 802.1X standard and typically works alongside RADIUS-related configuration for authentication and accounting exchange. It is deployed on Eltex MES switches in access-layer network environments where port-based authentication is enforced for connecting endpoints, and the ELTEX-MES-DOT1X download is available for administrators to load into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ELTEX-MES-DOT1X. 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
- Eltex MES series Ethernet switches
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would check eltdot1xMacAuthFormatUsernameLettercase, eltdot1xMacAuthFormatUsernameSeparator, and eltdot1xMacAuthFormatUsernameGroupsize to confirm the MAC-authentication username format matches what the RADIUS server expects, since a mismatch here would cause authentication failures for MAC-auth-bypass clients. Checking eltdot1xRadiusAttrNASPortFormat under eltMesDot1xRadiusAttr verifies the NAS-Port attribute format sent to RADIUS is correctly configured. If authentications begin failing switch-wide, these configuration objects would be the first things to audit for a formatting mismatch.
What Can Be Monitored
- 802.1X MAC-authentication username format settings
- RADIUS NAS-Port attribute format
- MAC-auth password handling configuration
