rip2IfConfAuthKey

Module: RFC1389-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1389-MIB::rip2IfConfAuthKey

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.23.3.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-write

Description: The value to be used as the Authentication Key whenever the corresponding instance of rip2IfConfAuthType has the value simplePassword word. A modification of the corresponding instance of rip2IfConfAuthType does not modify the rip2IfConfAuthKey value. If a string shorter than 16 octets is supplied, it will be left- justified and padded to 16 octets, on the right, with nulls (0x00). Reading this object always results in an OCTET STRING of length zero; authentication may not be bypassed by reading the MIB object.

What is rip2IfConfAuthKey?

The authentication key (up to 16 octets, left-justified and null-padded) used when rip2IfConfAuthType is simplePassword; always reads back as a zero-length string so the key can't be recovered via SNMP. An admin sets this to configure the shared password RIP neighbors must present, and changing rip2IfConfAuthType does not automatically clear this stored key.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.23.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1389-MIB::rip2IfConfAuthKey

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.23.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1389-MIB::rip2IfConfAuthKey.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.23.3.1.4.1 s <value>
