SNMP engine ID

An engine ID identifies the SNMP entity that serves as the local agent on the switch. The engine ID is an octet colon-separated number; for example, 00:00:17:8B:02:00:00:01.

When you configure an SNMPv3 user, you can specify that a localized authentication and/or privacy key be generated. The localized password keys are generated using the engine ID of the switch. A localized key is more complex and provides greater privacy protection.

The engine ID used to generate the password keys is unique to the switch. For this reason, you cannot copy and use localized SNMP security passwords on another switch.
