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 recongure 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 The existing values are no longer valid and a warning message is displayed.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 recongure SNMP users with new localized password keys.
In addition, if you change the congured engine ID for a remote device, you must recongure 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 
OS10(config)# snmp-server engineID remote 1.1.1.2 udp-port 432 0xabeecc
