Abstract
This memo defines a set of extensions which instrument RADIUS
authentication client functions. These extensions represent a
portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network
management protocols in the Internet community. Using these
extensions IP-based management stations can manage RADIUS
authentication clients.
This memo obsoletes RFC 2618 by deprecating the MIB table containing

IPv4-only address formats and defining a new table to add support for
version neutral IP address formats. The remaining MIB objects from
RFC 2618 are carried forward into this document. The memo also adds
UNITS and REFERENCE clauses to selected objects.

Internet-Draft RADIUS Auth Client MIB (IPv6) January 2006
1. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
This document uses terminology from RFC 2865 [RFC2865].
This document uses the word "malformed" with respect to RADIUS
packets, particularly in the context of counters of "malformed
packets". While RFC 2865 does not provide an explicit definition of
"malformed", malformed generally means that the implementation has
determined the packet does not match the format defined in RFC 2865.
Some implementations may determine that packets are malformed when
the Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA) format does not follow the RFC
2865 recommendations for VSAs. Those implementations are used in
deployments today, and thus set the de-facto definition of
"malformed".
2. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
The objects defined within this memo relate to the Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Authentication Client as
defined in RFC 2865 [RFC2865].
3. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
4. Scope of Changes
This document obsoletes RFC 2618 [RFC2618], RADIUS Authentication
Nelson Expires July 24, 2006 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft RADIUS Auth Client MIB (IPv6) January 2006
Client MIB, by deprecating the radiusAuthServerTable table and adding
a new table, radiusAuthServerExtTable, containing
radiusAuthServerInetAddressType, radiusAuthServerInetAddress, and
radiusAuthClientServerInetPortNumber. The purpose of these added MIB
objects is to support version neutral IP addressing formats. The
existing table containing radiusAuthServerAddress and
radiusAuthClientServerPortNumber is deprecated. The remaining MIB
objects are carried forward from RFC 2618 into this document. This
memo also adds UNITS and REFERENCE clauses to selected objects.
RFC 4001 [RFC4001], which defines the SMI Textual Conventions for
IPv6 addresses, contains the following recommendation.
'In particular, when revising a MIB module that contains IPv4
specific tables, it is suggested to define new tables using the
textual conventions defined in this memo [RFC 4001] that support all
versions of IP. The status of the new tables SHOULD be "current",
whereas the status of the old IP version specific tables SHOULD be
changed to "deprecated". The other approach, of having multiple
similar tables for different IP versions, is strongly discouraged.'
5. Structure of the MIB Module
The RADIUS authentication protocol, described in RFC 2865 [RFC2865],
distinguishes between the client function and the server function.
In RADIUS authentication, clients send Access-Requests, and servers
reply with Access-Accepts, Access-Rejects, and Access-Challenges.
Typically Network Access Server (NAS) devices implement the client
function, and thus would be expected to implement the RADIUS
authentication client MIB, while RADIUS authentication servers
implement the server function, and thus would be expected to
implement the RADIUS authentication server MIB.
However, it is possible for a RADIUS authentication entity to perform
both client and server functions. For example, a RADIUS proxy may
act as a server to one or more RADIUS authentication clients, while
simultaneously acting as an authentication client to one or more
authentication servers. In such situations, it is expected that
RADIUS entities combining client and server functionality will
support both the client and server MIBs.
This MIB module contains two scalars as well as a single table, the
RADIUS Authentication Server Table, which contains one row for each
RADIUS authentication server with which the client shares a secret.
Each entry in the RADIUS Authentication Server Table includes fifteen
columns presenting a view of the activity of the RADIUS
authentication client.

Internet-Draft RADIUS Auth Client MIB (IPv6) January 2006
6. Deprecated Objects
The deprecated table in this MIB is carried forward from RFC 2618
[RFC2618]. There are two conditions under which it MAY be desirable
for managed entities to continue to support the deprecated table:
1. The managed entity only supports IPv4 address formats.
2. The managed entity supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats,
and the deprecated table is supported for backwards compatibility
with older management stations. This option SHOULD only be used
when the IP addresses in the new table are in IPv4 format and can
accurately be represented in both the new table and the
deprecated table.
Managed entities SHOULD NOT instantiate row entries in the deprecated
table, containing IPv4-only address objects, when the RADIUS server
address represented in such a table row is not an IPv4 address.
Managed entities SHOULD NOT return inaccurate values of IP address or
SNMP object access errors for IPv4-only address objects in otherwise
populated tables. When row entries exist in both the deprecated
IPv4-only table and the new IP version neutral table that describe
the same RADIUS server, the row indexes SHOULD be the same for the
corresponding rows in each table, to facilitate correlation of these
related rows by management applications.

8. IANA Considerations
This document requires no new IANA assignments.
9. Security Considerations
There are no management objects defined in this MIB that have a MAX-
ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB is
implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can
alter or create any management objects of this MIB via direct SNMP
SET operations.
Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a
MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or
vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to
control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
the network via SNMP. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
radiusAuthServerIPAddress This can be used to determine the address
of the RADIUS authentication server with which the client is
communicating. This information could be useful in mounting an
attack on the authentication server.
radiusAuthServerInetAddress This can be used to determine the address
of the RADIUS authentication server with which the client is
communicating. This information could be useful in mounting an
attack on the authentication server.
radiusAuthClientServerInetPortNumber This can be used to determine
the port number on which the RADIUS authentication client is
sending. This information could be useful in impersonating the
client in order to send data to the authentication server.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
in this MIB module.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
authentication and privacy).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT

Internet-Draft RADIUS Auth Client MIB (IPv6) January 2006
RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them
