rlSshClientAuthenticationMethod

Module: CISCOSB-SSH-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCOSB-SSH-MIB::rlSshClientAuthenticationMethod

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.78.3.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Specifies the global authentication method for SSH client. SSH client will apply this authentication method upon connecting to a remote server, if no specific authentication method has been defined for this operation.

What is rlSshClientAuthenticationMethod?

This read-write field sets the default authentication method, public-key RSA, public-key DSA, or password, the device uses when acting as an SSH client, unless a specific method is given for an individual operation. Admins care because it determines whether scheduled backup jobs from this device rely on key-based or password authentication by default. For example, an admin sets this to public-key-rsa so nightly SCP configuration backups authenticate to the backup server using the device's RSA client key rather than a stored password.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.78.3.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCOSB-SSH-MIB::rlSshClientAuthenticationMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.78.3.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCOSB-SSH-MIB::rlSshClientAuthenticationMethod.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.78.3.5.1 i <value>
