Description: FASTPATH-CAPTIVE-PORTAL-MIB module

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 FASTPATH-CAPTIVE-PORTAL-MIB?

This is a NETGEAR private MIB (built on the Broadcom FASTPATH platform NETGEAR licenses for its managed switches) that implements Captive Portal, a feature that redirects unauthenticated wireless or wired clients to a login/acceptance page before granting network access. It would be expected to expose captive portal configuration (enable state, redirect/login page settings) and client authentication session status. Its monitoring value centers on the software-level status of the captive portal service and the authentication state of connected clients — administrators use it to confirm the portal feature is active and to see which client sessions are currently authenticated versus pending redirect, functioning as an application/service-status monitor rather than a hardware sensor. As a NETGEAR/Broadcom FASTPATH private feature it has no dependency on an external IETF captive-portal MIB (no such standard exists) and is used alongside the other FASTPATH-*-PRIVATE-MIB modules on the same device. It is deployed on NETGEAR managed switches (or wireless controllers built on the FASTPATH stack) providing guest/public network access control in offices, hospitality, or campus settings. Engineers can download the FASTPATH-CAPTIVE-PORTAL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FASTPATH-CAPTIVE-PORTAL-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

  • NETGEAR managed switch (Broadcom FASTPATH-based)

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were available for this MIB, so a concrete polling example cannot be grounded in real names; based on the feature it implements, an admin would be expected to poll a captive-portal-enable object and a client-session table to confirm the portal service is active and to see how many clients are currently authenticated or awaiting redirect.

What Can Be Monitored

  • captive portal enable state
  • authenticated client session status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cpCaptivePortalClientBytesReceived OID:

Select a Broadcom FastPath-based Ethernet switch (multi-vendor OEM) (Captive Portal) 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 cpCaptivePortalClientBytesReceived 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. It reports the number of bytes received by this client. 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 Counter64-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.
