| Description | This object contains the key used to encrypt/decrypt
the configuration file when secure SNMPv3 provisioning
is used.
The value of this object is provided along with the
configuration file information (pktcMtaDevConfigFile)
and hash (pktcMtaDevProvConfigHash) by the Provisioning
Server via SNMP SET once the configuration file has been
created, as defined by the PacketCable Security
specification.
The privacy algorithm is defined by the
pktcMtaDevProvConfigEncryptAlg MIB object. The
MTA requirements related to the privacy algorithm are
defined in the PacketCable Security Specification.
If this object is set at any other provisioning step than
that allowed by the PacketCable MTA Device
Provisioning Specification, the MTA SHOULD return
an 'inconsistentValue' error.
This object must not be used in non secure provisioning
mode. In non-secure provisioning modes, the MTA SHOULD
return an 'inconsistentValue' in response to SNMP SET
operations, and the MTA SHOULD return a zero-length
string in response to SNMP GET operations.
If a value is written into an instance of
pktcMtaDevProvConfigKey, the agent MUST NOT retain the
supplied value across MTA re-initializations or reboots. |
