ibBmaBKeyProtectBit

Module: BMA-MIB

OID (symbolic): BMA-MIB::ibBmaBKeyProtectBit

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.117.5.1.2.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-only

Description: Flag that controls B_Key prototection levels at the BMA. If the ibBmaBKeyValue is zero, no protection is provided for any ibBmaBKeyProtectBit value. If this value is false(2), protection is provided, but any BM can read this BMA's B_Key value (i.e., ibBmaBKeyValue). If this value is true(1), protection is provided depending on the value of the B_Key lease period (ibBmaBKeyLeasePeriod). If the lease period is non-zero, the BMA does not allow anyone to read the B_Key until the lease period has expired. If the lease period is zero, the BMA does not allow the B_Key in the node to be read by other BMs.

What is ibBmaBKeyProtectBit?

Controls the protection level applied to the B_Key: when set to true (protect mode), the B_Key value itself cannot be read by other Baseboard Managers without proper authentication. When false, any BM can retrieve the key value, offering lower security.
