HH3C-8021X-EXT2-MIB

Description: Provides extended 802.1X authentication objects for H3C devices including guest VLAN and auth-fail VLAN configuration.

Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

HH3C-8021X-EXT2-MIB is a vendor-specific H3C extension to the standard IEEE8021-PAE-MIB, adding extra 802.1X port-based authentication objects such as guest VLAN and auth-fail VLAN configuration for handling clients that fail or skip authentication. It exposes authentication timer configuration (quiet period, transmit period, supplicant/server timeouts, max retransmissions, re-authentication period), the authentication method used, and per-port administrative status and control-mode/maximum-user-count settings. This MIB is used to monitor the software/configuration status of network access control, letting administrators verify authentication timing behavior and confirm how many users are permitted per port, which is important for diagnosing slow or failed 802.1X logins. It has an explicit dependency on the standard IEEE8021-PAE-MIB, which it extends rather than replaces. It is typically deployed on H3C/HPE Comware access switches enforcing 802.1X network access control in enterprise LANs. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HH3C-8021X-EXT2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would check hh3c8021XExt2AuthConfigExtTable/hh3c8021XExt2AuthConfigExtEntry to review hh3c8021XExt2AuthQuietPeriod, hh3c8021XExt2AuthTxPeriod, and hh3c8021XExt2AuthServerTimeout when diagnosing why client authentication is taking unusually long or failing intermittently. The hh3c8021XExt2PaePortAuthAdminStatus and hh3c8021XExt2PaePortControlledType objects confirm whether 802.1X enforcement is enabled on a given port and in what control mode (e.g., port-based vs. MAC-based). hh3c8021XExt2PaePortMaxUserNum lets an operator verify the per-port user limit hasn't been exceeded, which would otherwise silently block new authentications. A high hh3c8021XExt2AuthServerTimeout combined with repeated auth failures would point to a slow or unreachable RADIUS server rather than a client-side issue.

Extends 802.1X port authentication with configurable timers and authenticator parameters on H3C network devices.
