dot1xAuthBackendAccessChallenges

Module: IEEE8021-PAE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-PAE-MIB::dot1xAuthBackendAccessChallenges

OID (numeric): 1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.2.3.1.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Counts the number of times that the state machine receives an initial Access-Challenge packet from the Authentication server (i.e., aReq becomes TRUE, causing exit from the RESPONSE state). Indicates that the Authentication Server has communication with the Authenticator.

What is dot1xAuthBackendAccessChallenges?

Counts how many times this port's Authenticator received an initial Access-Challenge from the RADIUS server, confirming the server is actually reachable and responding rather than the request going unanswered.
