csOspfIfAuthKey

Module: COSINE-ORION-MIB

OID (symbolic): COSINE-ORION-MIB::csOspfIfAuthKey

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3085.3.1.4.2.4.1.6.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-create

Description: The Authentication Key. If the Area's Author- ization Type is simplePassword, and the key length is shorter than 8 octets, the agent will left adjust and zero fill to 8 octets.

Note that unauthenticated interfaces need no authentication key, and simple password authen- tication cannot use a key of more than 8 oc- tets. Larger keys are useful only with authen- tication mechanisms not specified in this docu- ment.

When read, csOspfIfAuthKey always returns an Oc- tet String of length zero.

What is csOspfIfAuthKey?

This OCTET STRING, up to 256 bytes, holds the authentication key for this interface; if simplePassword authentication is used and the key is shorter than 8 octets the agent left-adjusts and zero-fills it to 8 octets. It is the shared secret that must match exactly on both ends of an OSPF adjacency using simplePassword or md5 authentication. An admin who just rotated an interface's OSPF password would update this key here and on the corresponding neighbor at the same time to avoid dropping the adjacency.
