Description: Configures RADIUS client server groups, attributes, and accounting on Redstone Communications routers.

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 REDSTONE-RADIUS-CLIENT-MIB?

REDSTONE-RADIUS-CLIENT-MIB is a private enterprise MIB from Redstone Communications Inc., a networking equipment vendor, defining the RADIUS client subsystem embedded in their routers and access devices. It exposes configuration objects for RADIUS server groups, authentication algorithms, and per-server address/port settings, plus operational counters for authentication request/response traffic. Rather than classic hardware vitals, it is used to monitor the software-level health of the AAA (authentication, authorization, accounting) subsystem: round-trip response time to each configured RADIUS server, counts of access requests, retransmissions, accepts and rejects, and detection of invalid server addresses that signal misconfigured or unreachable authentication servers. It mirrors the general RADIUS client model standardized in RFC 2618 but is implemented as a Redstone-specific enterprise schema rather than importing that IETF MIB directly. It would typically be deployed on Redstone Communications routers/access concentrators used by ISPs or enterprises for AAA of dial-in or broadband subscriber sessions. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the REDSTONE-RADIUS-CLIENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Redstone Communications routers/access concentrators

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll rsRadiusAuthClientServerTable/rsRadiusAuthClientServerEntry (indexed by rsRadiusAuthClientServerAddress and rsRadiusAuthClientServerPortNumber) to see the configured RADIUS servers, then watch rsRadiusAuthClientRoundTripTime alongside rsRadiusAuthClientAccessRequests, rsRadiusAuthClientAccessRetransmissions and rsRadiusAuthClientAccessRejects. A rising retransmission count combined with growing round-trip time signals a RADIUS server becoming slow or unreachable, while a spike in rsRadiusAuthClientInvalidServerAddresses would indicate client-server misconfiguration.

What Can Be Monitored

RADIUS server round-trip time
access request/accept/reject counts
access request retransmissions
invalid RADIUS server addresses
configured RADIUS server address/port

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rsRadiusAuthClientInvalidServerAddresses OID:

Select a Redstone Communications routers/access concentrator (RADIUS client AAA subsystem) 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 rsRadiusAuthClientInvalidServerAddresses into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of RADIUS Access-Response packets received from unknown addresses. 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 sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
