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

  • 2 (HMAC-SHA-96)
  • 3 (HMAC-192-SHA-256)
  • 4 (HMAC-384-SHA-512)
