Engine ID
The SNMPv3 Engine ID screen allows network managers to define the SNMP Engine ID and to
assign the default parameters to SNMP.
To define the Local Engine ID:
1. Click System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > Engine ID. The SNMPv3 Engine ID screen displays:
Figure 3-8
The SNMPv3 Engine ID screen contains the following fields:
• Local Engine ID (10-64 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 – First bit = 1, the rest is the IANA Enterprise number.
– Fifth octet – Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.
– Last 6 octets – 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.
