Command Usage
• The SNMP engine ID is used to compute the authentication/privacy digests
from the password. You should therefore configure the engine ID with the
snmp-server engine-id
command before using this configuration command.
• Before you configure a remote user, use the snmp-server engine-id
command (page 24-8) to specify the engine ID for the remote device where
the user resides. Then use the
snmp-server user
command to specify the
user and the IP address for the remote device where the user resides. The
remote agent’s SNMP engine ID is used to compute authentication/privacy
digests from the user’s password. If the remote engine ID is not first configured,

For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent. You therefore
