GSM7224-RADIUS-MIB

Description: Netgear GSM7224 switch MIB for RADIUS server configuration and 802.1X authentication statistics.

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.

This is a Netgear vendor MIB for the GSM7224 managed switch, providing configuration objects for RADIUS server settings used in 802.1X port-based network access control and administrative authentication. It exposes data such as RADIUS server addresses, shared secrets, ports, timeout/retry settings, and authentication statistics counters. Its monitoring value is centered on software/service-level configuration and security status, verifying which RADIUS servers are configured and reachable, and tracking authentication success/failure statistics to catch access-control or connectivity issues. It depends conceptually on the standard IEEE 802.1X PAE framework, since RADIUS here backs 802.1X port authentication. It is deployed on Netgear GSM7224 Gigabit managed switches in enterprise networks using centralized RADIUS authentication, and a GSM7224-RADIUS-MIB download provides the object definitions needed to poll these authentication settings.

An administrator would poll RADIUS server table entries (server address, port, timeout, retry count) to confirm the primary and backup authentication servers are correctly configured on the switch. Authentication statistics counters would be checked to detect a spike in failed 802.1X authentication attempts, which could indicate a misconfigured RADIUS shared secret or a server outage. Comparing configured versus actually reachable RADIUS servers helps troubleshoot why devices on 802.1X-protected ports are failing to authenticate.
