Change the Engine ID for a Local Machine

SNMP v3 requires unique engine IDs for all systems in the SNMP management
domain. The ProCurve Secure Router has a default engine ID, and you should
not change this ID unless you have a specific reason for doing so. If you
inadvertently create two duplicate engine IDs in your SNMP management
domain, you will cause problems.
By default, the local snmp-server engine ID is 0000000b03XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:
0000000b (in the first four octets) identifies the product as a ProCurve
Secure Router. (Do not change this part of the engine ID.)
03 (in the fifth octet) indicates that the remaining digits specify a system
MAC address.
The string of Xs (in the remaining octets) represents the system MAC
address.
To view the current engine ID, enter show snmp engineID at the enable
command mode context.
If you must change the engineID, enter the following command from the global
configuration mode context:
Syntax: snmp-server engineID local <hex string>
Replace <hex string> with an 12-octet hexadecimal representation (24 char-
acters using 0 through 9 and a through f) to define the ProCurve Secure
Router in your SNMP management domain.
If you do not enter all 12 octets of the engine ID, the Secure Router OS pads
the end of the entered string with zeros (least significant bits) until the string
is complete.
For example, to change the engine ID to 0000000b05000000000032, enter:
ProCurve(config)# snmp-server engineID local 0000000b05000000000032
Use the no form of the command to return to the default engine ID.
Syntax: no snmp-server engineID local
