Description: The authentication type specified for an area. Additional authentication types may be assigned locally on a per Area basis.

What is ospfAuthType?

This sets the authentication type used for OSPF exchanges within a specific area -- 0 for none or 1 for simple password, with additional values reserved for IANA assignment -- and defaults to no authentication. Admins set this to 1 on an area where they want to require a shared password on OSPF packets, configuring the actual key via the interface's ospfIfAuthKey object.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfAuthType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfAuthType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.2.1.2.1 i <value>
