Defining the Engine ID
The Engine ID Page allows network managers to define the SNMP Engine ID and allows network
managers to assign the default parameters to SNMP.
To define the Local Engine ID:
1. Click Switch > Advanced > SNMP > Engine ID. The Engine ID Page opens:
Figure 5-63
The Engine ID Page contains the following fields:
Local Engine ID (0-64 Characters) – Displays the local device Engine ID. The field
value is expressed as a hexadecimal string in which the hexadecimal character pairs
represent each byte that can be delimited using periods or colons. The Engine ID must be
defined before SNMPv3 is enabled.
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. Click . The Engine ID settings are defined and the device is updated.
