Description: Broadcom FastPath private MIB for RADIUS authentication client configuration and statistics on FastPath-based network 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 FASTPATH-RADIUS-AUTH-CLIENT-MIB?

FASTPATH-RADIUS-AUTH-CLIENT-MIB is a Broadcom private MIB for switches built on the Broadcom FastPath switch software/firmware, covering the configuration and statistics of the device's RADIUS authentication client used for 802.1X or management authentication against external RADIUS servers. Based on its short description, it exposes RADIUS-client configuration (server addresses, shared secrets/timeouts) and statistics such as authentication request/response/timeout counters, i.e., authentication-service status data rather than physical hardware sensors. Its monitoring relevance is chiefly software/service health: rising RADIUS timeout or failed-authentication counters would reveal degraded connectivity to the RADIUS server(s), which can block user or admin authentication entirely. It naturally depends on the client-side semantics defined in the standard RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC 2618) that it customizes/extends for FastPath-based devices. No module description text or sample object names were available in the extracted source for this batch, so its exact table/object naming could not be confirmed here. It is typically deployed on Broadcom FastPath-based enterprise switches performing 802.1X port authentication or admin-login RADIUS authentication. Engineers can download the FASTPATH-RADIUS-AUTH-CLIENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FASTPATH-RADIUS-AUTH-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

  • Broadcom FastPath-based enterprise switch

Monitoring Examples

Concrete object names were not available in the extracted source, so a specific OID-level example cannot be given without inventing names. In typical use, an administrator would poll RADIUS-client statistics for authentication request counts, timeouts, and failed-response counts per configured RADIUS server, and a spike in timeout counters for a given server would reveal that server has become unreachable, risking authentication failures for users or administrators.

What Can Be Monitored

  • RADIUS server configuration
  • authentication request count
  • authentication timeout count
  • authentication failure count
