What is swPortCipherKeySize?

This value reports the size, in bytes, of the encryption cipher key in use on this port. Admins use it to verify the port is using the strength of encryption expected, since Fabric OS supports a 256-byte key for its encryption feature. A reported value of 256 confirms the port is using the full-strength 256-byte cipher key rather than a shorter or default key.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.28.3.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FA-EXT-MIB::swPortCipherKeySize

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.28.3.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FA-EXT-MIB::swPortCipherKeySize.1

SNMPv3 example:

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