dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable

Module: IEEE802dot11-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable

OID (numeric): 1.2.840.10036.1.2.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: This attribute, when true at a station, shall enable the acceptance of the authentication algorithm described in the corresponding table entry in authentication frames received by the station that have odd authentication sequence numbers. The default value of this attribute shall be 1 for the Open System table entry and 2 for all other table entries.

What is dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable?

Enables (TRUE) acceptance of the authentication algorithm named in the corresponding table row for frames with odd authentication-sequence numbers; Open System defaults to enabled and others default to a different value. Admins disable Shared Key authentication here on security-hardened deployments since it is cryptographically weak compared to modern RSNA methods.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.2.840.10036.1.2.1.3.1 s <value>
