dot11BssSecurityMode

Module: BRCM-80211-MGMT-MIB

OID (symbolic): BRCM-80211-MGMT-MIB::dot11BssSecurityMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4413.50.1.1.2.1.5.4.1.14.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Security mode may be chosen from Disable, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise or RADIUS-WEP. All devices on the network must use the same security mode in order to communicate.

If set to disabled(0): Open system. No authentication or encryption.

If set to wep(1) then the following parameters must be set: Default Transmit Key (dot11BssWepDefaultKey): Choose which Key to use. WEP Key Bit (dot11BssWepSecurityMode): May select from 64-Bit or 128-Bit encryption. Passphrase (dot11BssWepPassPhrase): Enter a passphrase consisting of any keyboard character to be used to generate a hex WEP key. Key 1-4 (dot11BssWep64BitKeyTable or dot11BssWep128BitKeyTable): Enter a WEP key manually. Must use only hex character (0-9 and A-F). 64-bit WEP requires 10 hex characters, 128-Bit WEP requires the use of 26 hex characters.

If set to wpaPsk(2) then the following parameters must be set: WPA Algorithm (dot11BssWpaAlgorithm): TKIP or AES. WPA Pre-Shared Key (dot11BssWpaPreSharedKey): Choose a unique key to authenticate with other devices on the network. The Pre-Shared Key must be between 8 and 63 characters in length. Group Key Renewal (dot11BssWpaGroupRekeyInterval): This settingss determines how often the group key changes.

If set to wpa2Psk(3) then the following parameters must be set: WPA2 Algorithm (dot11BssWpaAlgorithm): AES or TKIP+AES. WPA2 Pre-Shared Key (dot11BssWpaPreSharedKey): Choose a unique key to authenticate with other devices on the network. The Pre-Shared Key must be between 8 and 63 characters in length. Group Key Renewal (dot11BssWpaGroupRekeyInterval): This settingss determines how often the group key changes.

If set to wpaEnterprise(4) then the following parameters must be set: WPA Algorithm (dot11BssWpaAlgorithm): TKIP or AES. RADIUS Server Address (dot11BssRadiusIp): The IP address of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Server Port (dot11BssRadiusPort): The port the RADIUS server uses. RADIUS Shared Secret (dot11BssRadiusKey): The shared secret set on the RADIUS server. Key Renewal Timeout (dot11BssRadiusReAuthInterval): Determines how often the keys should be renened.

If set to wpa2Enterprise(5) then the following parameters must be set: WPA2 Algorithm (dot11BssWpaAlgorithm): AES or TKIP+AES. RADIUS Server Address (dot11BssRadiusIp): The IP address of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Server Port (dot11BssRadiusPort): The port the RADIUS server uses. RADIUS Shared Secret (dot11BssRadiusKey): The shared secret set on the RADIUS server. Key Renewal Timeout (dot11BssRadiusReAuthInterval): Determines how often the keys should be renened.

If set to radiusWep(6) then the following parameters must be set: RADIUS Server Address (dot11BssRadiusAddressType / dot11BssRadiusAddress): The IP address of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Server Port (dot11BssRadiusPort): The port the RADIUS server uses. RADIUS Shared Secret (dot11BssRadiusKey): The shared secret set on the RADIUS server. Default Transmit Key (dot11BssWepDefaultKey): Choose which Key to use. WEP Key Bit (dot11BssWepEncryptionMode): May select from 64-Bit or 128-Bit encryption. Passphrase (dot11BssWepPassPhrase): Enter a passphrase consisting of any keyboard character to be used to generate a hex WEP key. Key 1-4 (dot11BssWep64BitKeyTable or dot11BssWep128BitKeyTable): Enter a WEP key manually. Must use only hex character (0-9 and A-F). 64-bit WEP requires 10 hex characters, 128-Bit WEP requires the use of 26 hex characters.

What is dot11BssSecurityMode?

Selects the security and encryption protocol for this BSS, with options including disabled (open), WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, and RADIUS-WEP. All clients must use the same security mode to communicate with this network.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4413.50.1.1.2.1.5.4.1.14.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BRCM-80211-MGMT-MIB::dot11BssSecurityMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4413.50.1.1.2.1.5.4.1.14.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BRCM-80211-MGMT-MIB::dot11BssSecurityMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4413.50.1.1.2.1.5.4.1.14.1.5.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dot11BssSecurityMode.1
