zyMacAuthenticationState
Module: ZYXEL-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB
OID (symbolic): ZYXEL-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB::zyMacAuthenticationState
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.46.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: EnabledStatus
Access: read-write
Description: Enable/disable MAC authentication on the switch. MAC authentication works in a very similar way to IEEE 802.1x authentication.
What is zyMacAuthenticationState?
This read-write EnabledStatus turns MAC authentication on or off for the switch; it works similarly to IEEE 802.1x authentication but authenticates based on the client's MAC address instead. Admins enable this in environments with devices that can't perform 802.1x, such as printers or IoT devices, to still require RADIUS-based authentication. Setting this to enabled activates MAC-based authentication device-wide, subject to per-port settings.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.46.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB::zyMacAuthenticationState
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.46.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB::zyMacAuthenticationState.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.46.1.1.1 s <value>
