juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationPwd

Module: Juniper-ISIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): Juniper-ISIS-MIB::juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationPwd

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.38.1.1.6.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-write

Description: The value to be used as the Authentication Key in Level 1 Link State Packets whenever the value of juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationKeyType has a value of plaintext or hmacMd5. A modification of juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationKeyType does not modify the juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationPwd value.

Reading this object always results in an OCTET STRING of length zero; authentication may not be bypassed by reading the MIB object.

What is juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationPwd?

Write-mostly octet string (0-20 bytes, default empty) holding the Level 1 authentication key used when juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationKeyType is plaintext or hmacMd5; per the description, reading it always returns a zero-length string so the password can't be recovered via SNMP. Admins set this to configure the shared secret protecting Level 1 LSPs and SNPs within the area.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.38.1.1.6.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Juniper-ISIS-MIB::juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationPwd

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.38.1.1.6.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Juniper-ISIS-MIB::juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationPwd.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.38.1.1.6.1.3.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> juniIsisSysAreaAuthenticationPwd.1
