What Is RADLAN-TELNET-MIB?

RADLAN-TELNET-MIB is a vendor-specific private MIB from RADLAN/Marvell that configures and monitors the Telnet management service on a switch, covering access credentials, timeouts, and active session tracking. It exposes configuration objects such as rlTelnetPassword and rlTelnetTimeout, along with a live session table (rlTelnetUsersTable/Entry) recording each connected client's address, login time, and session status, plus configurable login banner text. Its monitoring value is chiefly software/service status: an operator can see how many Telnet sessions are currently open, from which client addresses, and since when, which is useful for security auditing and detecting unexpected or lingering management sessions. It has no strong dependency on other standard MIBs beyond general addressing conventions (e.g. InetAddress types) used for client address fields. It is typically deployed on Marvell/RADLAN-based managed switches where Telnet remains an enabled management access method. Engineers can download the RADLAN-TELNET-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RADLAN-TELNET-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • active Telnet session count
  • Telnet client source address
  • session login time
  • session status
  • Telnet idle timeout setting

Supported Devices

  • Marvell (formerly RADLAN) managed Ethernet switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would walk rlTelnetUsersTable (keyed by rlTelnetSessionId) to see rlTelnetSessionClientAddress and rlTelnetSessionLoginTime for each active session, using rlTelnetSessionStatus to spot an established Telnet session from an unexpected client address that may indicate unauthorized access. rlTelnetTimeout can be checked to confirm idle sessions will be dropped after the configured period.
