Description: Enterasys Networks MIB for multi-user IEEE 802.1X authentication, supporting per-MAC authentication statistics on a port.

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 ENTERASYS-MULTI-USER-8021X-MIB?

ENTERASYS-MULTI-USER-8021X-MIB is an Enterasys Networks proprietary MIB (extending the standard IEEE 802.1X-2001 MIB) supporting multiple concurrent 802.1X-authenticated users on a single switch port. Its access-entity table, keyed by index, records active flag, authenticator state, backend-authentication state, initialize/reauthenticate triggers, re-auth period, supplicant MAC address, and username, while a companion statistics table counts EAPOL frames received/sent, start/logoff/response-ID/response frames received, request-ID/request frames sent, invalid EAPOL frames, EAP length-error frames, EAPOL frame version, and frame source. As a configuration/protocol-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm each concurrently-authenticated user's 802.1X state and username on a shared port. It is deployed on Enterasys Networks managed switches with multi-user 802.1X. Engineers can download the ENTERASYS-MULTI-USER-8021X-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ENTERASYS-MULTI-USER-8021X-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

  • Enterasys Networks managed switches (multi-user 802.1X)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks etsysMulti1xAeUserName and AeState to identify which specific user on a shared multi-user 802.1X port is failing authentication on an Enterasys switch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-user 802.1X authentication state and EAPOL statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using etsysMulti1xAeEapolFramesRx OID:

Select an Enterasys Networks switch (legacy, later Extreme Networks) (multi-user 802.1X per port) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type etsysMulti1xAeEapolFramesRx into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of valid EAPOL frames of any type that have been received by this Access Entity. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
