Command Usage
• The SNMP engine ID is used to compute the authentication/privacy
digests from the password. Therefore, configure the engine ID with the
snmp-server engine-id command (section 7.6.8 on page 619)
before using this configuration command.
• Before configuring a remote user, use the snmp-server engine-id
command to specify the engine ID for the remote device where the user
resides. Then use the snmp-server user command to specify the
user and the IP address for the remote device where the user resides.
The remote agent’s SNMP engine ID is used to compute authentication/
privacy
digests from the user’s password. If the remote engine ID is not
first configured,
the snmp-server user command specifying a
remote user will fail.
• SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the authoritative
agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent.
Therefore, configure the remote agent’s SNMP engine ID before
sending proxy requests or informs to it.
