RADIUS Accounting Server MIB for IPv6
Status of This Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.

Abstract
This memo defines a set of extensions that instrument RADIUS
accounting server 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 accounting servers.
This memo obsoletes RFC 2621 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 2621 are carried forward into this document. This memo also adds
UNITS and REFERENCE clauses to selected objects.

RFC 4671 RADIUS Acct Server 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) Accounting Server as
defined in RFC 2866 [RFC2866].
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] and RFC 2866
[RFC2866].
This document uses the word "malformed" with respect to RADIUS
packets, particularly in the context of counters of "malformed
packets". While RFC 2866 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 2866.
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
[RFC2580].
4. Scope of Changes
This document obsoletes RFC 2621 [RFC2621], RADIUS Accounting Server
MIB, by deprecating the radiusAccClientTable table and adding a new
table, radiusAccClientExtTable, containing
radiusAccClientInetAddressType and radiusAccClientInetAddress. The
purpose of these added MIB objects is to support version-neutral IP
