Engine ID
The SNMPv3 Engine ID screen allows network managers to define the SNMP Engine ID or to
assign the default Engine ID to SNMP.
To define the Local Engine ID:
1. Click System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > Engine ID. The SNMPv3 Engine ID screen displays:
Figure 3-14
The SNMPv3 Engine ID screen contains the following fields:
• Local Engine ID (10-64 Hex Characters) – Enter the local device Engine ID. The field
value is a hexadecimal string. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings is two
hexadecimal digits. Each byte digit can be separated by a period or a colon. The Engine ID
must be defined before SNMPv3 is enabled.
• Use Default – Check the box to use the device-generated Engine ID. The default Engine
ID is based on the device MAC address and is defined per standard as:
– First 4 octets – Indicates first bit = 1, the other 3 represent the IANA Enterprise
number.
– Fifth octet – Set to 3 to indicates the MAC address that follows.
– Last 6 octets – Represents the MAC address of the device.
2. Specify the Local Engine ID field or check Use Default to use the device-generated Engine
ID (Checking Use Default will override any entry in the Local Engine ID field).
3. Click APPLY to update the device.
