What is etsysSshPasswordGuesses?

This deprecated, read-write INTEGER (1..100) specifies how many password attempts a user gets when authenticating to the SSH server via password authentication. Admins lower this from the default of 3 to reduce the window for online password-guessing attacks against the SSH login. For example, setting this to 1 would disconnect a client immediately after a single failed password attempt, trading convenience for tighter brute-force resistance.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.26.1.6.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-SSH-SERVER-MIB::etsysSshPasswordGuesses

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.26.1.6.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-SSH-SERVER-MIB::etsysSshPasswordGuesses.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.26.1.6.1.1 i <value>
