ENTERASYS-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB
AI MIB Summary
The ENTERASYS-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB manages Enterasys switch ports by monitoring MAC authentication sessions, tracking associated policy bindings, and authorizing network access based on source MAC addresses received on pre-approved interfaces. It facilitates the retrieval of authentication state and authorization parameters for devices connecting via MAC-based credentials, rather than providing cryptographic security validation.
This MIB module defines a portion of the SNMP enterprise MIBs under Enterasys Networks' enterprise OID pertaining to MAC-Authentication. This MIB was designed to be used for authentication using source MAC addresses received in traffic on ports under control of MAC-authentication. The security afforded by this approach is neither the primary concern nor intent of this MIB. Rather, this MIB provides a convenient method of associating policy with MAC addresses and applying that policy when the MAC address appears on a pre-approved port in the network. The term MAC-Authentication is used because an authentication backend mechanism is used to allow the MAC onto the network, as well as provide authorization information to the switch.

etsysMACAuthenticationSystem OBJECT IDENTIFIER .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.1 |
etsysMACAuthenticationSystemEnableWhen enabled(1), all objects in this MIB are fully active. When disabled(2), this object overrides all other object settings in this MIB without affecting their values.rw EnabledStatus (P-BRIDGE-MIB) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.1.1 |
etsysMACAuthenticationMACUserPasswordThis is the string to be used as a password credential when authenticating a MAC address.rw SnmpAdminString (SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.1.2 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortUserNameSignificantBitsThis object represents the number of significant bits in the MAC addresses to be used starting with the left-most bit of the vendor portion of the MAC address. The significant portion of the MAC address is sent as a user-name credential when the primary attempt to authenticate the full MAC address fails. Any other failure to authenticate the full address, (i.e. authentication server timeout) causes the the next attempt to start once again with a full MAC authentication.rw INTEGER .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.1.3 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortConfig OBJECT IDENTIFIER .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortConfigTableA table containing configuration objects for each MAC authentication port. The configuration for each port in this table must be non-volatile. SEQUENCE OF EtsysMACAuthenticationPortConfigEntry .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortConfigEntryEach conceptual row provides control over all of the initial values used by each authenticated MAC on this port. Subsequent changes to rows in this table, except where noted, have no effect on existing MACs authenticated on this port. EtsysMACAuthenticationPortConfigEntry .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortThis is the InterfaceIndex associated with this row. InterfaceIndex (IF-MIB) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.1 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortInitializeWhen set to true(1), the MAC authentication logic on this port is initialized, forcibly ending all MAC authentication sessions currently in existence on this port. A set with the value false(2) has no affect and a read always returns false.rw TruthValue (SNMPv2-TC) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.2 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortReauthenticateWhen set to true(1), the MAC authentication entity on this port is required to immediately verify all currently authenticated MACs on this port. This requires that each MAC address be authenticated with the authentication server through the local authentication client or some other authentication mechanism. Each supplicant remains authenticated pending the outcome.rw TruthValue (SNMPv2-TC) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.3 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortEnableWhen set to enabled(1), a platform dependent triggering mechanism initiates an authentication exchange using a MAC address for authentication credentials. When disabled(2), authentication attempts are disabled and all currently authenticated MAC sessions or those in the process of authentication on this port are terminated.rw EnabledStatus (P-BRIDGE-MIB) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.4 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortQuietPeriodThe value, in seconds, following a failed authentication before another may be attempted on this port. This object allows network management to provide hysteresis for failed authentication requests from the same port.rw Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.5 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortReauthPeriodThe value, in seconds, between attempts to re-authenticate any current MAC authenticated on this port.rw Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.6 |
etsysMACAuthenticationPortReauthEnabledIf enabled(1), then every etsysMACAuthenticationReauthPeriod the switch attempts to validate all currently authenticated MACs on this port. When set to disabled(2) all current re-authentications in progress are allowed to complete and the requisite actions are taken. When set to disabled(2), no further re-authentications are attempted.rw EnabledStatus (P-BRIDGE-MIB) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.7 |
etsysMACAuthenticationAuthenticationsAllowedThe maximum number of concurrent authentications supported on this port on this module. The default value of this object is platform and resource dependent.ro Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.8 |
etsysMACAuthenticationAuthenticationsAllocatedThe maximum number of MAC authentications permitted on this port on this module. This value must be non-zero and be less than or equal to the value of etsysMACAuthenticationAuthenticationsAllowed. Setting this object to a value less than the current number of authenticated MACs on this port prevents further authentications, but has no affect on the current sessions.rw Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.9 |
etsysMACAuthenticationLastFailedAuthCauseThe string will be formatted with 'XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX: TIME&DATE: Textual failure reason'; where XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX is the MAC address and TIME&DATE is the time (hh/mm/ss) and date (mm/dd/yyyy) of the failure. It is also only best effort; as there could be multiple failures per port and the agent may query this at any random time.ro SnmpAdminString (SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB) .1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.25.1.2.1.1.10 |
