Module: APEX-MIB

OID (symbolic): APEX-MIB::apexSimulcryptExternalEisSetting

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.20.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Default simulcrypt External EIS encryption setting. This determines if services are sent out in the clear or are encrypted when Simulcrypt mode is set to External EIS and the services have not yet been provisioned. This allows a user to have services scrambled but unviewable prior to services being provisioned (to prevent services from being viewable). This parameter is only applicable for output streams that are in Simulcrypt External EIS mode.

When this setting is changed, it only affects new service mappings. Services that are already mapped will not be modified.

Once written, a save must be performed via the apexSaveConfig parameter and the APEX must be rebooted for the change to take effect.

@Config(config=yes, reboot=no) @Save(apexSaveConfig, value=2) @File(config.ini, type='ini')

What is apexSimulcryptExternalEisSetting?

Sets the default encryption behavior for services when Simulcrypt is operating in External EIS mode and a service has not yet been provisioned — choosing between sending content in the clear or scrambled but unviewable. This acts as a safety net to prevent unintended cleartext transmission during provisioning gaps.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.20.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> APEX-MIB::apexSimulcryptExternalEisSetting

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.20.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> APEX-MIB::apexSimulcryptExternalEisSetting.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.20.1.1.2.1 i <value>
