Syntax
snmp-server engineID [local engineID] [remote ip-address udp-port port-number
engineID]
To return to the default, use the no snmp-server engineID [local engineID] [remote ip-
address udp-port port-number engineID] command.
Parameters
local engineID
Enter the keyword local then the engine ID number that identies the copy of the
SNMP on the local device.
Format (as specied in RFC 3411): 12 octets.
The rst four octets are set to the private enterprise number.
The remaining eight octets are the MAC address of the chassis.
remote ip-address Enter the keyword remote then the IP address that identies the copy of the SNMP on
the remote device.
udp-port port-

Usage Information
Changing the value of the SNMP Engine ID has important side eects. A user’s password (entered on the
command line) is converted to a message digest 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 is invalid and you must recongure the users.
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 conguration.
