wfOspfIfAuthKey

Module: RFC7777-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC7777-MIB::wfOspfIfAuthKey

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.5.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-write

Description: 'The Authentication Key. If the Area's Authorization Type is simplePassword, and the key length is shorter than 8 octets, the agent will left adjust and zero fill to 8 octets. When read, ospfIfAuthKey always returns an Octet String of length zero.' default { '0000000000000000'H } -- 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 REFERENCE 'OSPF Version 2, Section 9 The Interface Data Structure'

What is wfOspfIfAuthKey?

This read-write value is the OSPF authentication key for this interface, used when the interface's area requires simple-password authentication; keys shorter than 8 octets are left-adjusted and zero-filled. For security, reading this object always returns a zero-length string rather than the actual key.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.5.1.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC7777-MIB::wfOspfIfAuthKey

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.5.1.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC7777-MIB::wfOspfIfAuthKey.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.5.1.17.1 s <value>
