pppSecuritySecretsSecret

Module: PPP-SEC-MIB

OID (symbolic): PPP-SEC-MIB::pppSecuritySecretsSecret

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-write

Description: The secret of the ID/Secret pair. The actual format, semantics, and use of pppSecuritySecretsSecret depends on the actual security protocol used. For example, if pppSecuritySecretsProtocol is pppSecurityPapProtocol then this object will contain a PAP Password. If pppSecuritySecretsProtocol is pppSecurityChapMD5Protocol then this object would contain the CHAP MD5 Secret.

What is pppSecuritySecretsSecret?

This octet string holds the secret portion of an authentication credential pair, whose format depends on the protocol in pppSecuritySecretsProtocol, such as a PAP password or a CHAP MD5 secret. Admins configure it with the password or shared secret the PPP link should present or expect during authentication. For a PAP-configured entry, setting this to the peer's agreed password provisions the credential used during PAP negotiation.

Examples
