Configuration Notes
This section describes SNMP configuration caveats.
• To avoid management systems attempting to manage a partially booted system, 
SNMP will remain in a shutdown state if the configuration file fails to complete 
during system startup. While shut down, SNMP gets and sets are not processed. 
However, notifications are issued if an SNMP trap group has been configured.
In order to enable SNMP, the portions of the configuration that failed to load must 
be initialized properly. Start SNMP with the 
config>system>snmp>no 
shutdown
 command.
• Use caution when changing the SNMP engine ID. If the SNMP engine ID is 
changed in the config>system>snmp>engineID engine-id context, the 
current configuration must be saved and a reboot must be executed. If the 
configuration is not saved and the system is not rebooted, the previously configured 
SNMP communities and logger trap-target notify communities will not be valid for 
the new engine ID.
