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 4-159) 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,
the snmp-server user command
specifying a remote user will fail.
SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the authoritative
agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent.
You therefore need to configure the remote agent’s SNMP engine ID
before you can send proxy requests or informs to it.
