hwMacAuthenPwdType

Module: HUAWEI-MAC-AUTHEN-MIB

OID (symbolic): HUAWEI-MAC-AUTHEN-MIB::hwMacAuthenPwdType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.171.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The type of global password.

What is hwMacAuthenPwdType?

This integer indicates whether the global fixed password (hwMacAuthenPassword) is stored as plain text, simple(1), or encrypted, cipher(2). Admins care for the same security reason as the port-level variant, but here it governs the switch-wide fixed password rather than a single port's credential. For example, setting it to cipher(2) ensures the global MAC-authentication password is encrypted in the running configuration.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.171.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MAC-AUTHEN-MIB::hwMacAuthenPwdType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.171.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-MAC-AUTHEN-MIB::hwMacAuthenPwdType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.171.1.11.1 i <value>
