Setting a remote engine ID

Use the Remove Engine ID page to set the SNMP version 3 engine ID
for a remote device.
To send inform messages to an SNMP version 3 user on a remote device,
you must first specify the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote
device where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to compute
the security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user
on the remote host.
SNMP passwords are localized by using the engine ID of the authoritative
agent. For inform messages, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote
agent. You therefore need to configure the remote agent SNMP engine ID
before you can send proxy requests or inform messages to it.
