The local information is stored in four read-only MIB variables:
snmpEngineId, snmpEngineBoots, snmpEngineTime, and
snmpEngineMaxMessageSize.
To configure SNMP:
1
Click System > SNMP > Global Parameters in the tree view to display
the
Global Parameters page.
Figure 9-47. Global Parameters
The global parameters are displayed.
2 Enter the fields:
–
Local Engine ID (10-64 Hex Characters) — Check and enter 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 stacked devices, verify that the Engine ID is unique for the
administrative domain. This prevents two devices in a network from
having the same Engine ID.
