Description: Manages RADIUS server configuration and authentication accounting on Bay Networks Rapid-City series 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 RC-RADIUS-MIB?

RC-RADIUS-MIB is a Bay Networks/Nortel enterprise MIB for the Accelar (Rapid-City) switch family that manages RADIUS authentication and accounting client configuration used for device login and command-line access control. It exposes global settings for RADIUS authentication and accounting (server table size, attribute values, CLI command inclusion in accounting records) as well as EAP-related global objects for 802.1X-style authentication. Its monitoring role centers on software/security-service status rather than hardware: an administrator can confirm whether RADIUS authentication and accounting are enabled, verify how many RADIUS servers are configured, and check whether CLI command auditing is turned on, all of which affect whether login/access events are properly authenticated and logged. It is closely tied to the RADIUS protocol standard (RFC 2865/2866) as its underlying authentication/accounting mechanism, implemented here as an Accelar-specific configuration MIB. It is deployed on Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar switches in environments requiring centralized AAA (authentication, authorization, accounting) for device management access. Engineers can download the RC-RADIUS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RC-RADIUS-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

  • Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar (Rapid-City) switches

Monitoring Examples

An admin would check rcRadiusGlobalEnable and rcRadiusGlobalMaxNumberServer/rcRadiusGlobalServerTableSize to confirm RADIUS authentication is active and how many servers are configured, and rcRadiusGlobalAcctEnable/rcRadiusGlobalAcctIncludeCli to verify accounting records capture CLI commands. rcRadiusGlobalClearStat lets an operator reset counters when troubleshooting, while rcRadiusGlobalAttributeValue and rcRadiusGlobalAcctAttributeValue expose the vendor-specific attribute IDs used in RADIUS exchanges. If login attempts stop generating accounting records, checking rcRadiusGlobalAcctEnable would be a first diagnostic step.

What Can Be Monitored

  • RADIUS authentication enable/disable and server count
  • RADIUS accounting enable and CLI command logging
  • RADIUS vendor-specific attribute configuration
  • 802.1X/EAP global authentication settings
  • RADIUS statistics reset/clear operations

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rcRadiusGlobalAuthInvalidServerAddress OID:

Select a Bay Networks/Nortel Accelar (Rapid-City) switch (RADIUS AAA client configuration) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type rcRadiusGlobalAuthInvalidServerAddress into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of Access Responses from unknown or invalid Radius servers. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
