colon-separated number. A maximum of 27 characters.
• remote ip-address — Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a remote SNMP device that accesses the local
SNMP agent.

Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
The local engine ID is used to generate the localized keys for the authentication and privilege passwords. These
passwords authenticate SNMP users and encrypt SNMP messages. If you recongure the local Engine ID, the
localized keys also change. The existing values are no longer valid and a warning message is displayed. As a result,
you must recongure SNMP users with new localized password keys.
In addition, if you change the congured engine ID for a remote device, you must recongure the authentication
and privacy passwords for the remote user.
To display the current local engine ID, use the show snmp engineID local command. The no version of this
command resets the default engine ID values.
Example
OS10(config)# snmp-server engineID local 80:00:02:b8:04:61:62:63
OS10(config)# snmp-server engineID local 80:00:02:b8:04:61:62:63
% Warning: Localized passwords need to be regenerated for local user.
OS10(config)# snmp-server engineID remote 1.1.1.1 0xaaffcc
