Description: Manages 802.1X authentication server configuration and RADIUS server assignments on Netgear switches.
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 NETGEAR-DOT1X-AUTHENTICATION-SERVER-MIB?
NETGEAR-DOT1X-AUTHENTICATION-SERVER-MIB is a Netgear private MIB (the "FastPath Dot1x Authentication Server" module) for configuring the 802.1X authentication server role and its associated RADIUS server assignments on Netgear FASTPATH switches. It exposes configuration relating to 802.1X server settings and which RADIUS server(s) are assigned for authentication, per its stated purpose. It functions as a software/configuration-status MIB rather than a hardware-sensor MIB - an administrator can use it to verify which RADIUS servers are currently configured and whether the 802.1X authentication server function is enabled, a check of the switch's security-service configuration state. It depends on and complements the standard IEEE 802.1X (dot1x) port-access-control concepts and the RADIUS client protocol. It is deployed on Netgear FASTPATH managed switches implementing port-based network access control (NAC) in enterprise LANs. Engineers can download the NETGEAR-DOT1X-AUTHENTICATION-SERVER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETGEAR-DOT1X-AUTHENTICATION-SERVER-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
- Netgear FASTPATH-based managed switch
Monitoring Examples
No sample object names were included in the provided source for this module, so specific table or scalar names cannot be honestly cited. Based on the module's stated purpose, an administrator would typically use it to confirm the 802.1X authentication server function is enabled and to review which RADIUS server has been assigned, catching a case where a stale or unreachable RADIUS server address would cause authentication failures.
What Can Be Monitored
- 802.1X authentication server enable state
- configured RADIUS server assignment
