Usage Information
Changing the value of the SNMP Engine ID has important side eects. 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 recongured.
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 conguration.
