Defining the SNMP Engine ID
The Engine ID Page provides information for defining the device engine ID.
The Engine ID Page contains the following fields.
• Local Engine ID (10-64 Hex characters) — Indicates the local device engine ID. The field
value is a hexadecimal string. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings consists of two
hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or a colon. The Engine ID must
be defined before SNMPv3 is enabled. Select a default Engine ID that is comprised of
Enterprise number and the default MAC address.
• Use Default — Uses 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 IANA Enterprise number.
– Fifth octet — Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.
– Last 6 octets — MAC address of the device.
