Radius monitor

The Radius server monitor tests the performance of Radius servers. Radius is a network protocol that provides authentication, access and accounting for computers that want to connect to a network. Radius is often used to provide access to wireless networks. All tests are performed using SNMP get requests. Consult your Radius server documentation to find out if your Radius server responds to SNMP requests by default or if you have to configure this feature.

Note: The community name, SNMP version, and port used used by Network Monitor to connect to an SNMP device is set on the Authentication tab of a device node. The device node may inherit this setting from a parent node. See the Installation Checklist.

Note: Only monitor specific settings are documented here. See Standard monitor settings.

Monitor specific properties

These fields are required to connect to the Radius server to perform configured tests.

Performance monitoring options

Each test is performed in the scope of a time span. The time span is denoted in seconds.

Comparison options

In addition to the above tests a customized SNMP get request can be made. The result of the request can be compared to a predefined value using a compare operation.
