ieee8021XKayMacSecConfidentialityOffset

Module: IEEE8021X-PAE-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021X-PAE-MIB::ieee8021XKayMacSecConfidentialityOffset

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.15.1.6.1.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The confidentiality protection offset options for the selected cipher suite in the MACsec. If the cipher suite does not have this capability, the configured value of the object will not apply to the cipher suite.

What is ieee8021XKayMacSecConfidentialityOffset?

Sets the confidentiality (encryption) offset in bytes -- 0, 30, or 50 -- used by the selected MACsec cipher suite on this port; some cipher suites don't support offsets other than 0, in which case this setting is simply ignored for that suite. Admins would set 30 or 50 to leave certain header bytes (e.g. for downstream QoS classification) unencrypted while still protecting the payload.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.15.1.6.1.1.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021X-PAE-MIB::ieee8021XKayMacSecConfidentialityOffset

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.15.1.6.1.1.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021X-PAE-MIB::ieee8021XKayMacSecConfidentialityOffset.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.15.1.6.1.1.17.1 i <value>
