Command Usage

•An SNMP engine is an independent SNMP agent that resides either on this switch or on a remote device. This engine protects against message replay, delay, and redirection. The engine ID is also used in combination with user passwords to generate the security keys for authenticating and encrypting SNMPv3 packets.

•A remote engine ID is required when using SNMPv3 informs. (See snmp-server host on page 4-156.)The remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user on the remote host. SNMP passwords are localized using
