Description: Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch MIB defining authentication method configuration including RADIUS and TACACS+ settings.
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 ME1200-AUTH-MIB?
ME1200-AUTH-MIB is a Cisco proprietary module for the ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch family, defining authentication method configuration for management access, including RADIUS and TACACS+ ordering for console, Telnet, and SSH sessions. It exposes per-access-method tables listing the ordered authentication methods configured for console, Telnet, and SSH login. Its monitoring value is primarily configuration/security status: administrators can verify which authentication method (local, RADIUS, TACACS+) is configured and in what priority order for each management access path, ensuring consistent access control policy. It depends on the device's underlying management-access model and typically works alongside RADIUS/TACACS+ client MIBs for full authentication visibility. It is typically deployed on Cisco ME1200 switches in service-provider or enterprise metro networks where centralized AAA policy compliance must be confirmed via SNMP, and ME1200-AUTH-MIB SNMP monitoring is exactly the mechanism used to verify that policy stays consistent across console, Telnet, and SSH access.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ME1200-AUTH-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
- Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll me1200AuthAgentConsoleMethodsTable, me1200AuthAgentTelnetMethodsTable, and me1200AuthAgentSSHMethodsTable, checking each me1200AuthAgentXMethodsMethod entry in order to confirm the configured authentication method sequence for each access path. Finding an SSH methods table falling back to local authentication when RADIUS/TACACS+ was expected would reveal an AAA configuration drift or a failed centralized authentication server.
What Can Be Monitored
- console authentication method order
- Telnet authentication method order
- SSH authentication method order
- configured AAA method priority
