What is pppSecurityConfigPreference?

This value sets the relative preference order in which the security protocol named in pppSecurityConfigProtocol is attempted, with lower numbers tried first. Admins use it to rank multiple authentication protocols configured for the same link, such as trying CHAP before falling back to PAP. Setting a CHAP entry's preference to 1 and a PAP entry's preference to 2 ensures CHAP is attempted first during PPP link negotiation.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PPP-SEC-MIB::pppSecurityConfigPreference

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PPP-SEC-MIB::pppSecurityConfigPreference.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1.2.1 i <value>
