The SNMP Global Parameters page contains the following fields: • Local Engine ID (10-64 Hex Characters) - Indicates 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. - For stand-alone devices select a default Engine ID that is comprised of Enterprise number and the default MAC address. - For a stackable system configure the Engine ID, and verify that the Engine ID is unique for the administrative domain. This prevents two devices in a network from having the same Engine ID. • Use Default - Select to use 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 = 674. - Fifth octet - Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows. - Last 6 octets - MAC address of the device. • SNMP Notifications - Enables or disables the router sending SNMP notifications. • Authentication Notifications - Enables or disables the router sending SNMP traps when authentication fails. Enabling SNMP Notifications 1 Open the SNMP Global Parameters page. 2 Select Enable in the SNMP Notifications field. 3 Click Apply Changes. SNMP notifications are enabled, and the device is updated. Enabling Authentication Notifications 1 Open the SNMP Global Parameters page. 2 Select Enable in the Authentication Notifications field. 3 Click Apply Changes. Configuring System Information 221
