Snmp-Server Enable Traps - Dell PowerConnect 3424 Cli Reference Manual

• Changing the value of the engine ID has the following important side-effect. A user's
password (entered on the command line) is converted to an MD5 or SHA security digest. This
digest is based on both the password and the local engine ID. The user's command line
password is then destroyed, as required by RFC 2274. As a result, the security digests of
SNMPv3 users become invalid if the local value of the engine ID change, and the users will
have to be reconfigured.
• You cannot specify an engine ID that consists of all 0x0, all 0xF or 0x000000001.
• The show running-config Privileged EXEC mode command does not display the SNMP
engine ID configuration. To see the SNMP engine ID configuration, enter the snmp-server
engineID local Global Configuration mode command.
Examples
The following example enables SNMPv3 on the device and sets the local engine ID of the device
to the default value.
Console(config) # snmp-server engineID local default
