tnNASRxAccessChallenges

Module: TN-NAS-MIB

OID (symbolic): TN-NAS-MIB::tnNASRxAccessChallenges

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.868.2.5.125.1.6.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: 802.1X-based: Counts the number of times that the switch receives the first request from the backend server following the first response from the supplicant. Indicates that the backend server has communication with the switch. MAC-based: Counts all Access Challenges received from the backend server for this port (left-most table) or client (right-most table).

What is tnNASRxAccessChallenges?

For 802.1X ports, counts the first RADIUS request received from the backend server after the supplicant's first response, confirming the backend server and switch are actually communicating; for MAC-based ports, counts all Access Challenges received from the backend server for this port or client.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.868.2.5.125.1.6.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> TN-NAS-MIB::tnNASRxAccessChallenges

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.868.2.5.125.1.6.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> TN-NAS-MIB::tnNASRxAccessChallenges.1

Start monitoring Transition Networks managed switch with 802.1X port authentication (re-auth/guest-VLAN status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the TN-NAS-MIB::tnNASRxAccessChallenges OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Transition Networks managed switch with 802.1X port authentication (re-auth/guest-VLAN status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Transition Networks managed switch with 802.1X port authentication (re-auth/guest-VLAN status) 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 tnNASRxAccessChallenges into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports 802.1X-based: Counts the number of times that the switch receives the first request from the backend server following the first response from the supplicant. 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 Gauge32-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.
