PPP-SEC-MIB.mib object view, vendor RFC

Introduction

Most network devices and programs ship with so-called MIB files to describe the parameters and meanings (i.e.: friendly names) which are available for monitoring via SNMP.
ActiveXperts Network Monitor 2024 can import vendor-specific MIB files, so it can be used to monitor specific OID's (Object Identifiers). This way, you can monitor your devices, computers, etc. by selecting your relevant OID's by name.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor 2024 can import MIB file PPP-SEC-MIB and use it to monitor vendor specific OID's.

PPP-SEC-MIB file content

Object view of PPP-SEC-MIB:

Scalar Object
pppSecurityConfigEntry .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1
Security configuration information for a particular PPP link.
pppSecuritySecretsEntry .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1
Secret information.
Tabular Object
pppSecurityConfigLink .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1.1
The value of ifIndex that identifies the entry in the interface table that is associated with the local PPP entity's link for which this particular security algorithm shall be attempted. A value of 0 indicates the default algorithm - i.e., this entry applies to all links for which explicit entries in the table do not exist.
pppSecurityConfigPreference .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1.2
The relative preference of the security protocol identified by pppSecurityConfigProtocol. Security protocols with lower values of pppSecurityConfigPreference are tried before protocols with higher values of pppSecurityConfigPreference.
pppSecurityConfigProtocol .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1.3
Identifies the security protocol to be attempted on the link identified by pppSecurityConfigLink at the preference level identified by pppSecurityConfigPreference.
pppSecurityConfigStatus .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2.1.4
Setting this object to the value invalid(1) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the pppSecurityConfigTable. It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant pppSecurityConfigStatus object.
pppSecuritySecretsLink .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.1
The link to which this ID/Secret pair applies. By convention, if the value of this object is 0 then the ID/Secret pair applies to all links.
pppSecuritySecretsIdIndex .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.2
A unique value for each ID/Secret pair that has been defined for use on this link. This allows multiple ID/Secret pairs to be defined for each link. How the local entity selects which pair to use is a local implementation decision.
pppSecuritySecretsDirection .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.3
This object defines the direction in which a particular ID/Secret pair is valid. If this object is local-to-remote then the local PPP entity will use the ID/Secret pair when attempting to authenticate the local PPP entity to the remote PPP entity. If this object is remote-to-local then the local PPP entity will expect the ID/Secret pair to be used by the remote PPP entity when the remote PPP entity attempts to authenticate itself to the local PPP entity.
pppSecuritySecretsProtocol .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.4
The security protocol (e.g. CHAP or PAP) to which this ID/Secret pair applies.
pppSecuritySecretsIdentity .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.5
The Identity of the ID/Secret pair. The actual format, semantics, and use of pppSecuritySecretsIdentity depends on the actual security protocol used. For example, if pppSecuritySecretsProtocol is pppSecurityPapProtocol then this object will contain a PAP Peer-ID. If pppSecuritySecretsProtocol is pppSecurityChapMD5Protocol then this object would contain the CHAP NAME parameter.
pppSecuritySecretsSecret .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.6
The secret of the ID/Secret pair. The actual format, semantics, and use of pppSecuritySecretsSecret depends on the actual security protocol used. For example, if pppSecuritySecretsProtocol is pppSecurityPapProtocol then this object will contain a PAP Password. If pppSecuritySecretsProtocol is pppSecurityChapMD5Protocol then this object would contain the CHAP MD5 Secret.
pppSecuritySecretsStatus .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3.1.7
Setting this object to the value invalid(1) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the pppSecuritySecretsTable. It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant pppSecuritySecretsStatus object.
Table
pppSecurityConfigTable .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.2
Table containing the configuration and preference parameters for PPP Security.
pppSecuritySecretsTable .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.23.2.3
Table containing the identities and secrets used by the PPP authentication protocols. As this table contains secret information, it is expected that access to this table be limited to those SNMP Party-Pairs for which a privacy protocol is in use for all SNMP messages that the parties exchange. This table contains both the ID and secret pair(s) that the local PPP entity will advertise to the remote entity and the pair(s) that the local entity will expect from the remote entity. This table allows for multiple id/secret password pairs to be specified for a particular link by using the pppSecuritySecretsIdIndex object.
