sn

engineID local
The
snmp-server engineID local
Global Configuration mode command specifies the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) engineID on the local device. To remove the
configured engine ID, use the
no
form of this command.
Syntax
snmp-server engineID local
{
engineid-string
|
default
}
no snmp-server engineID local
engineid-string
—Specifies a character string that identifies the engine ID. (Range: 9-64
hexa characters)
default
—The engine ID is created automatically based on the device MAC address.
Default Configuration
The engine ID is not configured.
If SNMPv3 is enabled using this command, and the default is specified, the default engine ID
is defined per standard as:
First 4 octets — first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number = 674.
Fifth octet — set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.
Last 6 octets — MAC address of the device.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
To use SNMPv3, you have to specify an engine ID for the device. You can specify your own ID
or use a default string that is generated using the MAC address of the device.
If the SNMPv3 engine ID is deleted or the configuration file is erased, SNMPv3 cannot be
used. By default, SNMPv1/v2 are enabled on the device. SNMPv3 is enabled only by defining
the Local Engine ID.
If you want to specify your own ID, you do not have to specify the entire 32-character engine
ID if it contains trailing zeros. Specify only the portion of the engine ID up to the point where
just zeros remain in the value. For example, to configure an engine ID of
123400000000000000000000, you can specify snmp-server engineID local 1234.
Since the engine ID should be unique within an administrative domain, the following is
recommended:
For a standalone device, use the default keyword to configure the engine ID.
For a stackable system, configure the engine ID to be used for the entire stack, and verify
that the stack engine ID is unique throughout the entire management network.
