Usage Information
Changing the value of the SNMP Engine ID has important side effects. A user’s password (entered on the
command line) is converted to a message digest algorithm (MD5) or secure hash algorithm (SHA) security digest.
This digest is based on both the password and the local Engine ID. The command line password is then destroyed,
as required by RFC 2274. Because of this deletion, if the local value of the Engine ID changes, the security digests
of SNMPv3 users is invalid and the users will have to be reconfigured.
For the remote Engine ID, the host IP and UDP port are the indexes to the command that are matched to either
overwrite or remove the configuration.
