Subject: Re: Measuring RADIUS Auths
I am pretty sure it is raw ("The number of RADIUS Access-Request packets sent to
this server. This does not include retransmissions.").
1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.5.3.1.8.3 is the retransmissions.
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Translate&objectInput=bsnRadiusAuthClientAccessRetransmissions#oidContent
Output from a snmpbulkwalk on one of our controllers:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.5.3.1.7.3 = Counter32: 93421076
.1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.5.3.1.7.4 = Counter32: 0
.1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.5.3.1.8.3 = Counter32: 31652
.1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.5.3.1.8.4 = Counter32: 0
If you are doing EAP-PEAPv0/MS-CHAPv2 then there will be many (a dozen
or so) Access-Request packets sent per user authorization occurrence.
The WiSM sends Access-Request (type 1) and the radius server answers
with Auth-Challenge (type 11). This repeats back and forth many times
until the radius server finally answers the final Auth-Request with
either an Auth-Accept (type 2) or Auth-Reject (type 3).
Just be clear what you're counting when comparing with other
institutions or you will be off by quite a bit. Apples-to-apples, etc.
