Defining SNMP Security

The SNMP Global Parameters screen permits enabling both SNMP and Authentication notifications.

•Local Engine ID. Indicates 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. For stand-alone devices select a default Engine ID that is comprised of Enterprise number and the default MAC address. For a stackable system configure the Engine ID, and verify that the Engine ID is unique for the administrative domain. This prevents two devices in a network from having the same Engine ID.

•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 = 3955.

•Fifth octet - Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.

•Last 6 octets - MAC address of the device.
