RADIUS Authentication Client MIB for IPv6
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
This memo defines a set of extensions that 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.

RFC 4668 RADIUS Auth Client MIB (IPv6) August 2006
1. 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].
2. 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".
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
