What is hwMacAuthenPortPwdType?

This integer indicates whether the per-port fixed password (hwMacAuthenPortPassWord) is stored as plain text, simple(1), or encrypted, cipher(2), defaulting to simple. Admins care because cipher mode keeps the password from being readable in plain text via configuration exports or SNMP, improving security for that port's credential. For example, changing it to cipher(2) makes the switch encrypt that port's stored MAC-authentication password.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.171.1.10.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MAC-AUTHEN-MIB::hwMacAuthenPortPwdType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.171.1.10.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MAC-AUTHEN-MIB::hwMacAuthenPortPwdType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.171.1.10.1.9.1 i <value>
