Simple Network Management Protocol

Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Engine - Set Engine ID) page to

change the local engine ID. An SNMPv3 engine is an independent SNMP

agent that resides on the switch. 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.

"snmp-server engine-id" on page 665

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.

These parameters are displayed:

Engine ID – A new engine ID can be specified by entering 9 to 64

hexadecimal characters (5 to 32 octets in hexadecimal format). If an

odd number of characters are specified, a trailing zero is added to the

value to fill in the last octet. For example, the value "123456789" is

equivalent to "1234567890".

To configure the local SNMP engine ID:

Click Administration, SNMP.

Select Configure Engine from the Step list.

Select Set Engine ID from the Action list.

Enter an ID of a least 9 hexadecimal characters.
