Setting a Local Engine ID

An SNMPv3 engine is an independent SNMP agent that resides on the

switch. This engine protects against message replay, delay, and redirection.

The engine ID is also used in combination with user passwords to generate

the security keys for authenticating and encrypting SNMPv3 packets.

A local engine ID is automatically generated that is unique to the switch.

This is referred to as the default engine ID. If the local engineID is deleted

or changed, all SNMP users will be cleared. You will need to reconfigure all

existing users.

A new engine ID can be specified by entering 10 to 64 hexadecimal

characters. If less than 26 characters are specified, trailing zeroes are added

to the value. For example, the value "1234" is equivalent to "1234"

followed by 60 zeroes.

Web – Click SNMP, SNMPv3, Engine ID. Enter an ID of up to 64

hexadecimal characters and then click Save.
