Hello, I apologise for misusing this mailing list, but I noticed that similar questions are being asked and there are people that might have the necessary answer for my problem. If you think this is OT, you are welcome to reply privately. To make it short, I need to initiate port reauthentication on switches (HP Procurve, but I think this may be standardised to some extent) via SNMPv3. I assume this is possible, but can''t find the proper documentation. To explain this in a little more detail, I want to do per SNMP what the following does over ssh/telnet (assuming I want to do it on port "A1" and I am able to find out that "A1" is port #1): ----------------------------- config aaa port-access supplicant A1 initialize aaa port-access web-based A1 reauthenticate aaa port-access mac-based A1 reauthenticate ----------------------------- I already have some perl code to do snmp writes, I just can''t find what variable and value to use for this purpose. Sometimes, access policy for a user changes and I want it to be enforced immediately, not after (s)he reboots or the auto refresh kick in. PS. don''t tell me to use the the HP program (PCM/IDM/whatever). Yours sincerely, Peter -- http://www.shurdix.org - Linux distribution for routers and firewalls
