CONFIGURATION
Usage Information

The local engine ID generates the localized keys for the authentication and privilege passwords. These passwords authenticate SNMP users and encrypt SNMP messages. If you reconfigure the local Engine ID, the localized keys also change. The existing values are no longer valid, and a warning message displays. As a result, you must reconfigure SNMP users with new localized password keys.

In addition, if you change the configured engine ID for a remote device, you must reconfigure the authentication and privacy passwords for the remote user.

To display the current local engine ID, use the show snmp engineID local command.

Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in Full Switch mode starting in release 10.4.2.0. Also supported in SmartFabric mode starting in release 10.5.0.1.

The no version of this command resets the default engine ID values.
