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 and verify its uniqueness. Changing the value of the engine ID has the following important side-effect. A user's password (entered on the command line) is converted to an MD5 or SHA security digest. This digest is based on both the password and the local engine ID. The user's command line password is then destroyed, as required by RFC 2274. As a result, the security digests of SNMPv3 users become invalid if the local value of the engine ID change, and the users will have to be reconfigured. You cannot specify an engine ID that consists of all 0x0, all 0xF or 0x000000001. The show running-config Privileged EXEC mode command does not display the SNMP engine ID configuration. To see the SNMP engine ID configuration, enter the snmp-server engine ID local GlobalConfiguration mode command. Example The following example specifies the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) engineID on the local device. Console(config) # snmp-server engineID local default show snmp engineid The show snmp engineID Privileged EXEC mode command displays the ID of the local Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) engine. Syntax show snmp engineID Default Setting This command has no default configuration. Command Mode Privileged EXEC mode SNMP Commands 253
