User Guidelines

A user and notification view are not automatically created. Use the snmp-server user, snmp- server group and snmp-server view Global Configuration mode commands to generate a user, group and notify group, respectively.

Example

The following example configures an SNMPv3 host.

Console(config)# snmp-serverv3-host192.168.0.20 john noauth

snmp-server engineID local

The snmp-server engineID local Global Configuration mode command specifies the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) engineID on the local device. To remove the configured engine ID, use the no form of this command.

Syntax

snmp-server engineID local {engineid-string default} no snmp-server engineID local

engineid-string— Specifies a character string that identifies the engine ID. (Range: 5-32 characters)

default — The engine ID is created automatically based on the device MAC address.

Default Setting

The engine ID is not configured.

If SNMPv3 is enabled using this command, and the default is specified, the default engine ID 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.

Command Mode

Global Configuration mode

User Guidelines

To use SNMPv3, you have to specify an engine ID for the device. You can specify your own ID or use a default string that is generated using the MAC address of the device.
