AuthenticationProtocol Property
The authentication protocol used for SNMPv3 packets.
Syntax
snmpmgr.getAuthenticationProtocol([callback]) snmpmgr.setAuthenticationProtocol( authenticationProtocol, [callback])
Possible Values
1 (authpHMACMD596), 2 (authpHMACSHA96), 3 (authpHMAC192SHA256), 4 (authpHMAC384SHA512)
Default Value
1
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for the getAuthenticationProtocol([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err, data){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'data' is the value returned by the method.
The callback for the setAuthenticationProtocol([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
This property defines the authentication protocol used when SNMPVersion is set to snmpverV3. Possible values are:
- 1 (HMAC-MD5-96 - default)
- 2 (HMAC-SHA-96)
- 3 (HMAC-192-SHA-256)
- 4 (HMAC-384-SHA-512)
This property is not available at design time.
