rlSshServerHostPublicKeyFingerprint
Module: CISCOSB-SSH-MIB
OID (symbolic): CISCOSB-SSH-MIB::rlSshServerHostPublicKeyFingerprint
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.78.2.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: DisplayString
Access: read-only
Description: SECSH format fingerprint of the server's public key. To prevent man in the middle attacks, users should make sure the ssh Server's fingerprint, as printed in the connection process, is similar to the one printed here.
What is rlSshServerHostPublicKeyFingerprint?
This read-only DisplayString holds the SECSH-format fingerprint of the server's host public key, which the description says users should compare against what their own SSH client reports to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Admins care because this is the concrete value used for that anti-MITM verification. For example, before accepting a new SSH host-key prompt, an admin cross-checks the fingerprint their terminal displays against this SNMP-retrieved value to confirm they're really connecting to the intended switch.
