12.5 SNMPv3 Setting
SNMP v3 adds the concept of groups and users to enhance security for SNMP
management. A user is an SNMP manager. A group is a group of SNMP managers
that are assigned common access rights to MIBs. For example, one group of
managers may only have access to agents with MIB II - System Group MIBs while
another may have access to agents with the Ether-like MIB. Use this screen to
configure your SNMPv3 settings.
Engine ID The SNMP Engine ID is a unique identifier that identifies agents to the
managers.
The default SNMP Engine ID is the MAC address of the agent.
The format is limited to hexadecimal characters (0~9 and a~f).
