Command Usage
• An SNMP engine is an independent SNMP agent that resides either on this switch
or on a remote device. 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 remote engine ID is required when using SNMPv3 informs. (See the
host command.) The remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for
authentication and encryption of packets passed between the switch and a user on
the remote host. SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the
authoritative agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent.
You therefore need to configure the remote agent's SNMP engine ID before you can
send proxy requests or informs to it.
• Trailing zeroes need not be entered to uniquely specify a engine ID. In other words,
the value "0123456789" is equivalent to "0123456789" followed by 16 zeroes for a
local engine ID.
• 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 engine ID is deleted or changed, all
SNMP users will be cleared. You will need to reconfigure all existing users
("snmp-server user" on page
