devIDPublicKeyAlgorithm

Module: IEEE8021-DEVID-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-DEVID-MIB::devIDPublicKeyAlgorithm

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.17.1.2.2.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DevIDAlgorithmIdentifier

Access: read-only

Description: The DevID PublicKey Algorithm field shall indicate the public key algorithm identifier. This object identifies the public key algorithm as either rsaEncryption or idecPublicKey. Obsolete along with table. The AlgorithmIdentifier is not necessarily a complete description of the signature suite (parameters in subjectPublicKeyInfo may also be required), full information is in the devIDCert in the devIDCertTable using X.509 OIDs so avoiding generating new OIDs for this MIB and removing the need for future MIB updates as new signature suites are added.

What is devIDPublicKeyAlgorithm?

This read-only value, part of the obsolete devIDPublicKeyTable, reported the public key's algorithm as either rsaEncryption or idecPublicKey; the MIB notes this is superseded by the full X.509 OID information already present in the certificate's devIDCert object. New tooling should parse the algorithm out of devIDCert instead of relying on this obsolete object.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.17.1.2.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-DEVID-MIB::devIDPublicKeyAlgorithm

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.17.1.2.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-DEVID-MIB::devIDPublicKeyAlgorithm.1
