6.4.4.2 Specifying a Remote Engine ID
To send inform messages to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, first specify
the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote device where the user
resides. 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 the engine ID of the authoritative agent.
For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent. Therefore the
remote agent’s SNMP engine ID needs to be configured before sending proxy
requests or informs to it. (See “Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types” on
page 110 and “Configuring Remote SNMPv3 Users” on page 118.)
The engine ID can be specified by entering 10 to 64 hexadecimal characters.
Web – Click SNMP, SNMPv3, Remote Engine ID. Enter an ID of up to 64
hexadecimal characters and then click Save.
