Module: CIENA-CES-TACACS-CLIENT-MIB

OID (symbolic): CIENA-CES-TACACS-CLIENT-MIB::cienaCesTacacsClientKeyMinLen

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.2.1.1.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Description: Setting this object defines the minimum length for TACACS secret key.

What is cienaCesTacacsClientKeyMinLen?

This sets the minimum allowed character length, from 2 to 64, that the device will accept when a new TACACS shared secret key is configured. This is a policy-enforcement object rather than a description of the current key itself, so raising it doesn't affect an already-configured key that's shorter than the new minimum; it only takes effect the next time someone tries to set a new key, which could surprise an admin who assumes raising this immediately invalidates a weak, already-in-place secret. For example, setting this to 16 to enforce a stronger-secret policy going forward wouldn't retroactively flag or reject an existing 8-character key already configured, the admin would need to separately rotate that existing key to bring it into compliance.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.2.1.1.1.18
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-TACACS-CLIENT-MIB::cienaCesTacacsClientKeyMinLen

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.2.1.1.1.18.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-TACACS-CLIENT-MIB::cienaCesTacacsClientKeyMinLen.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.2.1.1.1.18.1 i <value>
