You can configure a local engine identifier (engine ID) as the administratively unique ID
of an SNMPv3 engine. The local engine ID is used only for identifying an SNMPv3 engine
and not for addressing the engine. An engine ID has two parts: prefix and suffix. The prefix
is formatted according to the specifications defined in RFC 3411, An Architecture for
Describing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Frameworks. You
can specify the suffix to be generated from the media access control (MAC) address of
the management interface.
NOTE: SNMPv3 authentication and encryption keys are generated based on
the associated passwords and the engine ID. If you configure or change the
engine ID, you must commit the new engine ID before you configure SNMPv3
users. Otherwise the keys generated from the configured passwords are
based on the previous engine ID.
To configure a local engine ID for an SNMPv3 engine in NSM:
In the navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.

In the Devices list, double-click the device to select it.

Click the Configuration tab.

In the configuration tree, expand SNMP.

OK—To save the changes.
Cancel—To cancel the modifications.
Apply—To apply the SNMP settings.
NOTE: After you make changes to a device configuration, you must push that
updated device configuration to the physical security device for those changes
to take effect. You can update multiple devices at one time. See the Updating
Devices section in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide for
more information.
