Module: DOCS-SEC-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOCS-SEC-MIB::docsSecCmtsEncryptEncryptAlgPriority

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.11.1.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SnmpTagList

Access: read-write

Description: This attribute allows for configuration of a prioritized list of encryption algorithms the CMTS will use when selecting the primary SAID encryption algorithm for a given CM. The CMTS selects the highest priority encryption algorithm from this list that the CM supports. By default the following encryption algorithms are listed from highest to lowest priority (left being the highest): 128 bit AES, 56 bit DES, 40 bit DES. An empty list indicates that the CMTS attempts to use the latest and robust encryption algorithm supported by the CM. The CMTS will ignore unknown values or unsupported algorithms.

What is docsSecCmtsEncryptEncryptAlgPriority?

Sets a prioritized list of encryption-algorithm tags (e.g. 128-bit AES, 56-bit DES, 40-bit DES) that the CMTS uses to pick the primary SAID encryption algorithm for each cable modem, choosing the highest-priority algorithm the modem supports. Leaving the list empty tells the CMTS to negotiate the strongest algorithm the modem can do instead of following a fixed order.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.11.1.2.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DOCS-SEC-MIB::docsSecCmtsEncryptEncryptAlgPriority

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.11.1.2.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DOCS-SEC-MIB::docsSecCmtsEncryptEncryptAlgPriority.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.11.1.2.1.1 s <value>

Start monitoring DOCSIS CMTS/cable modem (security: certificates/TFTP/EAE, vendor-neutral CableLabs standard) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the DOCS-SEC-MIB::docsSecCmtsEncryptEncryptAlgPriority OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any DOCSIS CMTS/cable modem (security: certificates/TFTP/EAE, vendor-neutral CableLabs standard) from a single console.
