bgpAuthenticationDataLength

Module: BGP4-OPT-PARAMETERS-MIB

OID (symbolic): BGP4-OPT-PARAMETERS-MIB::bgpAuthenticationDataLength

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.9.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: This value is derived from the optional parameter length minus one (the size of bgpAuthenticationCode). This value may be no larger than 252 due to overhead. This value is set to -1 if Authentication is not present.

What is bgpAuthenticationDataLength?

This Integer32 (-1 or 0-252) stores the length of the authentication data payload, with -1 indicating no authentication. Example: a value of 16 indicates the authentication field (e.g., MD5 digest) is 16 bytes long.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.9.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BGP4-OPT-PARAMETERS-MIB::bgpAuthenticationDataLength

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.9.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BGP4-OPT-PARAMETERS-MIB::bgpAuthenticationDataLength.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.9.1.1.3.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> bgpAuthenticationDataLength.1
