Viewing the Engine ID

Creating an SNMPv3 Administrator

CAUTION:
Document No. 650-100-700, Issue 1
Table 5-3 provides an explanation of the command variable.
Table 5-3. snmp-server engineid Command
Parameter
<engine-Id>
To view the currently configured engine ID of the switch, use the following
CLI command:
(configure)# show snmp engineid
After either manually assigning the switch an engine ID or assigning the
console port an IP address, you can create an SNMPv3 administrator. This
administrator will be able to create and modify SNMPv3 users by using
SNMP.
You must have administrator access to the switch to create the SNMPv3
administrator. The administrator can, however, give specific user groups
read-write access to the USM and VACM MIBs. Users assigned to those
user groups can then use SNMPv3 to create or modify SNMPv3 users.
To prevent SNMPv1 or v2 access to the USM or VACM MIBs, assign
views that include these MIBS only to groups that require
authentication and encryption.
Definition
A 5-byte to 32-byte hexidecimal value. Separate each
byte with a colon. Do not all 00s or all FFs.
Example: 00:00:00:09:0a:fe:ff:12:97:33:45:12.
Important: The last byte of the engine ID must not
be greater than EE. If you enter a value
greater than EE, you may not be able to
access the ATM Uplink module
MIBs.
The engine ID of an ATM Uplink
module is the engine ID of the switch,
where the slot number of the ATM
Uplink module is added to the last
byte. EE is the greatest value that
allows for the addition of any one of
the 17 slots.
