Configuring the Switch
3-36
3
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.
A new engine ID can be specified by entering 1 to 26 hexadecimal characters. If less
than 26 characters are specified, trailing zeroes are added to the value. For
example, the value “1234” is equivalent to “1234” followed by 22 zeroes.
Web – Click SNMP, SNMPv3, Engine ID. Enter an ID of up to 26 hexadecimal
characters and then click Save.

CLI – This example sets an SNMPv3 engine ID.
Configuring SNMPv3 Users

specific security level and assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group restricts users to
a specific read and a write view.
