etsysPwaControlledPortControl

Module: ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB

OID (symbolic): ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB::etsysPwaControlledPortControl

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The authentication method of the ifIndex. A value of forceUnauthorized(1) indicates that the port is always unauthenticated. When set to this value the ifindex is essentially disabled.

A value of auto(2) indicates that the ifindex will authenticate users using PWA process. In this mode the switch will provide all the services the end-station will need to complete the login. These services include a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, a Windows Internet Naming Server (WINS), and a Domain Name Service (DNS) Server.

A value of forceAuthorized(3) indicates the port is always authorized. When set to this value, the ifindex will always be authenticated.

When set to promiscousAuto(4) the services that are required to complete the network login are not provided by the switch. These services must be provided on a back-end network that the end-station can communicate with. These services might be specific to the particular Operating System of the end-station and could also include the same services as provided in auto mode.

What is etsysPwaControlledPortControl?

Sets the PWA authentication mode for a switch port: forceUnauthorized(1) always blocks it, forceAuthorized(3) (the default) always passes traffic with no login required, auto(2) makes the switch itself serve DHCP/DNS/WINS and the login page, and promiscousAuto(4) requires those services to be provided by a back-end network instead.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB::etsysPwaControlledPortControl

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB::etsysPwaControlledPortControl.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.5.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> etsysPwaControlledPortControl.1
