This counter may experience a discontinuity when the RADIUS Client module within the managed entity is reinitialized, as indicated by the current value of radiusAuthClientCounterDiscontinuity.

What is radiusAuthClientExtPacketsDropped?

This counter records the number of RADIUS authentication packets received from a server that were discarded for reasons other than standard protocol errors. It may reset when the RADIUS client module restarts, as tracked by the radiusAuthClientCounterDiscontinuity object. System administrators use this metric to troubleshoot user authentication problems and identify potential configuration or server-side issues.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.67.1.2.1.1.4.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RADIUS-AUTH-CLIENT-MIB::radiusAuthClientExtPacketsDropped

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.67.1.2.1.1.4.1.16.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RADIUS-AUTH-CLIENT-MIB::radiusAuthClientExtPacketsDropped.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> radiusAuthClientExtPacketsDropped.1
