Alarm Generation and Monitoring

The products generate alarms when certain hardware and software events occur. For more information about SBC alarms for RADIUS, refer to the Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide.

The RADIUS ACCOUNTING CONNECTION DOWN alarm, detailed in the table below, is directly associated with the SBC’s RADIUS functionality. When enabled connections to RADIUS servers have timed-out without a response from the RADIUS server, the alarm is activated. The RADIUS ACCOUNTING CONNECTION DOWN alarm triggers a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap that is sent via the syslog Management Information Base (MIB) (ap-syslog.mib). For a list of all SNMP-related alarms and their associated traps, refer to the table of SNMP trap correlation to SBC’s alarms in Oracle’s MIB Reference Guide.

This alarm has no impact on a the health score of a SBC that is part of an HA Node.
