wfOspfAuthType

Module: RFC7777-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC7777-MIB::wfOspfAuthType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.2.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: 'The authentication type specified for an area. Additional authentication types may be assigned locally on a per Area basis.' REFERENCE 'OSPF Version 2, Appendix E Authentication' -- none (0), -- simplePassword (1) -- reserved for future specification (2..255) -- reserved for AS specific values (> 255)

What is wfOspfAuthType?

This read-write value selects the authentication scheme applied to OSPF packets within an area, either nopassword or simplepassword. An administrator sets it to simplepassword to require a shared key before neighbors in that area will form adjacencies.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.2.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC7777-MIB::wfOspfAuthType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.2.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC7777-MIB::wfOspfAuthType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.2.1.5.1 i <value>

Start monitoring legacy Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers (OSPF configuration, filename coincides with unrelated later RFC) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the RFC7777-MIB::wfOspfAuthType OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any legacy Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers (OSPF configuration, filename coincides with unrelated later RFC) from a single console.
