Defining SNMP Security
The SNMP Security Global Parameters Page permits the enabling of both SNMP and Authentication notifications.
To define the SNMP security parameters:
1. Click System > SNMP > Security > Global Parameters. The SNMP Security Global Parameters Page
opens:
Figure 139:SNMP Security Global Parameters Page
The SNMP Security Global Parameters Page contains the following fields:
• Local Engine ID (0-32 Characters)— Displays the local device Engine ID. The field value is a hexadecimal
string. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings is 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 an 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.
2. Define the Local Engine ID and Use Default fields.
3. Click . The SNMP global security parameters are set, and the device is updated.
