Information
Changing the value of the SNMP Engine ID has important side effects. A user’s password (entered on 
the command line) is converted to a message digest 5 algorithm (MD5) or secure hash algorithm 
(SHA) security digest. This digest is based on both the password and the local Engine ID. The 
command line password is then destroyed, as required by RFC 2274. Because of this deletion, if the 
local value of the Engine ID changes, the security digests of SNMPv3 users will be invalid, and the 
users will have to be reconfigured.
For the remote Engine ID, the host IP and UDP port are the indexes to the command that are matched 
to either overwrite or remove the configuration.
