Description: Manages Broadcom TACACS+ client configuration, server addresses, authentication state, and statistics.
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 TACACS-CLIENT-MIB?
TACACS-CLIENT-MIB is a vendor MIB defined under the Broadcom Inc. enterprise OID for TACACS+ client functionality on Broadcom-based networking equipment. It exposes configuration objects for TACACS+ server addresses/settings and status objects reflecting the client's authentication state and usage statistics. Its monitoring value centers on software/service status: confirming whether the device can successfully reach and authenticate against configured TACACS+ servers, and tracking authentication statistics that reveal failed logins or an unreachable AAA server, a software/service health concern rather than a hardware metric. It builds on the standard TACACS+ protocol as its underlying authentication mechanism, adapting it into a Broadcom enterprise-specific MIB. It is deployed on Broadcom-based network switches/routers using TACACS+ for centralized administrative authentication, authorization, and accounting. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the TACACS-CLIENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TACACS-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
- Broadcom-based network switches/routers
Monitoring Examples
No concrete object or table names were captured from this MIB's parsed source. In practice an administrator would poll TACACS+ server configuration and authentication statistics objects to confirm the client is successfully authenticating against its configured server, using a spike in failed-authentication counters or an unreachable-server status as a sign that centralized login access has been disrupted.
What Can Be Monitored
- TACACS+ server configuration/reachability
- authentication success/failure statistics
- client authentication state
