ipsAuthInstDescr

Module: IPS-AUTH-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPS-AUTH-MIB::ipsAuthInstDescr

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.141.1.2.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SnmpAdminString

Access: read-write

Description: A character string, determined by the implementation to describe the authorization instance. When only a single instance is present, this object may be set to the zero-length string; with multiple authorization instances, it must be set to a unique value in an implementation-dependent manner to describe the purpose of the respective instance. If this is deployed in a master agent with more than one subagent implementing this MIB module, the master agent is responsible for ensuring that this object is unique across all subagents.

What is ipsAuthInstDescr?

Free-text label for this IP-storage authorization instance; can be left empty when a device has only one instance, but must be set to a unique value when multiple authorization instances coexist on the same node.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.141.1.2.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPS-AUTH-MIB::ipsAuthInstDescr

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.141.1.2.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPS-AUTH-MIB::ipsAuthInstDescr.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.141.1.2.2.1.2.1 s <value>
