DNOS-KEYING-PRIVATE-MIB

Description: Manages cryptographic key management and key chain configuration for routing protocol authentication on Dell DNOS.

Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

DNOS-KEYING-PRIVATE-MIB is a Broadcom-authored private MIB used within Dell EMC Networking's DNOS (Dell Networking Operating System) to manage cryptographic key-chain configuration used for authenticating routing protocols (such as OSPF, BGP, or RIP key rotation). It exposes a feature-enable/disable control pair and a table of configured keying entries. It is primarily a security-configuration MIB rather than a hardware/performance monitor: its value is in confirming that the keying feature is enabled and that expected key-chain entries are present, since a missing or disabled key chain would cause routing-protocol authentication to fail and adjacencies to drop. It works alongside standard routing-protocol MIBs (e.g., OSPF-MIB, BGP4-MIB) that reference these key chains for authentication, though it does not itself implement those protocols. It is deployed on Dell EMC Networking switches/routers running DNOS in enterprise or data-center environments requiring authenticated routing protocol sessions. Engineers can download the DNOS-KEYING-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would check agentFeatureKeyingEnableKey/agentFeatureKeyingDisableKey state to confirm the key-chain feature is active, then enumerate agentFeatureKeyingTable entries to verify the expected key chains are configured. If a routing peer suddenly fails to form an adjacency, an operator would use this MIB to confirm the local key-chain entry wasn't accidentally disabled or removed, ruling out an authentication mismatch as the cause. Because only feature-level and table-presence objects are exposed here, specific key values are appropriately not visible via SNMP for security reasons.
