What is wfOspfIfAuthKey?

Holds the OSPF simple-password authentication key for this interface, which the router left-justifies and zero-pads to 8 octets when the area's authentication type is simplePassword. Reading this object always returns a zero-length string for security, so admins must set it write-only and cannot retrieve the configured key via SNMP.

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> Wellfleet-OSPF-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> Wellfleet-OSPF-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>
