What is hpSwitchAuthenticationEncryptCredentialsMethod?

This selects the algorithm used to encrypt locally stored passwords on the switch, either none(0) or aes256cbc(1). An admin sets it to aes256cbc to ensure credentials in the running/startup config are not stored in a weaker or reversible form.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.16.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HP-AUTH-MIB::hpSwitchAuthenticationEncryptCredentialsMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.16.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HP-AUTH-MIB::hpSwitchAuthenticationEncryptCredentialsMethod.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.16.1.3.1 i <value>
