authenticationMode

Module: AirPair-MIB

OID (symbolic): AirPair-MIB::authenticationMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.7262.1.11.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This sets the authentication mode for the system.If configured for unique authentication, an AIRPAIR node only exchanges user traffic with one other AIRPAIR node. The serial number is used in this case.

If configured for group authentication, an AIRPAIR node exchanges user traffic with another AIRPAIR node of the same group and uses the authentication keys.

What is authenticationMode?

This read-write object selects how the system authenticates its link partner: none disables authentication, unique locks the link to one specific peer by serial number, and group allows the node to exchange traffic with any peer sharing the same group authentication keys. Changing this changes which of the related objects (uniquePeerAuthenticationKey vs. a shared group key) actually govern the link.

Examples

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7262.1.11.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> AirPair-MIB::authenticationMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7262.1.11.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> AirPair-MIB::authenticationMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7262.1.11.3.1 i <value>
