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.
