dot1xAuthAuthEapStartsWhileAuthenticated

Module: IEEE8021-PAE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xAuthAuthEapStartsWhileAuthenticated

OID (numeric): 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.2.3.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Counts the number of times that the state machine transitions from AUTHENTICATED to CONNECTING, as a result of an EAPOL-Start message being received from the Supplicant.

What is dot1xAuthAuthEapStartsWhileAuthenticated?

Counts how many times an already-authenticated client on this port sent a new EAPOL-Start message, forcing the Authenticator back to the CONNECTING state — frequent restarts on an authenticated port can point to a flaky supplicant client or NIC driver.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.2.3.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xAuthAuthEapStartsWhileAuthenticated

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.2.3.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xAuthAuthEapStartsWhileAuthenticated.1
