Understanding SNMP

This chapter provides information about Cisco Access Registrar support for SNMP.

Overview

Cisco Access Registrar 3.0 provides SNMP MIB and trap support for users of network management systems. The supported MIBs enable the network management station to collect state and statistic information from an Cisco AR server. The traps enable Cisco AR to notify interested network management stations of failure or impending failure conditions.

Cisco Access Registrar supports the MIBs defined in the following RFCs:

RADIUS Authentication Client MIB, RFC 2618

RADIUS Authentication Server MIB, RFC 2619

RADIUS Accounting Client MIB, RFC 2620

RADIUS Accounting Server MIB, RFC 2621

Cisco Access Registrar 3.0 MIB support enables a standard SNMP management station to check the current state of the server as well as the statistics on each client or each proxied remote server.

Cisco Access Registrar 3.0 Trap support enables a standard SNMP management station to receive trap messages from an Cisco AR server. These messages contain information indicating that either the server was brought up or down, or that the proxied remote server is down or has come back online.

Supported MIBs

The MIBs supported by Access Registrar enable a standard SNMP management station to check the current state of the server and statistics for each client or proxied remote server.

RADIUS-AUTH-CLIENT-MIB

The RADIUS-AUTH-CLIENT-MIB describes the client side of the RADIUS authentication protocol. The information contained in this MIB is useful when an Cisco AR server is used as a proxy server.
