The SNMP Security Global Parameters Page contains the following fields:

•Local Engine ID (0-32 Characters)— Displays the local device Engine ID. The field value is a hexadecimal string. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings is two hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or a colon. The Engine ID must be defined before SNMPv3 is enabled. Select a default Engine ID that is comprised of an Enterprise number and the default MAC address.

•Use Default — Uses the device-generated Engine ID. The default Engine ID is based on the device MAC address and is defined per standard as:

–First 4 octets — first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number.

–Fifth octet — Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.

–Last 6 octets — MAC address of the device.
