Configure SNMP engine ID

The engine ID identifies the SNMP local agent on a switch. The engine ID is an octet colon-separated number; for example, 80:00:02:b8:04:61:62:63 .

The local engine ID is used to create a localized authentication and/or privacy key for greater security in SNMPv3 messages. You generate a localized authentication and/or privacy key when you configure an SNMPv3 user.

Configure a remote device and its engine ID to allow a remote user to query the local SNMP agent. The remote engine ID is included in the query and used to generate the authentication and privacy password keys to access the local agent. If you do not configure the remote engine ID, remote users' attempts to access the local agent fail.

NOTE: Create a remote engine ID with the snmp-server engineID command before you configure a remote user with the snmp-server user command. If you change the configured engine ID for a remote device, you must reconfigure the authentication and privacy passwords for all remote users associated with the remote engine ID. 
snmp-server engineID [local engineID] [remote ip-address {[udp-port port-number] remote-engineID}]

To display the localized authentication and privacy keys in an SNMPv3 user configuration, use the show snmp engineID local command.

Configure SNMP engineID 

OS10(config)# snmp-server engineID local 80:00:02:b8:04:61:62:63

Display SNMP engineID 

OS10# show snmp engineID local
Local default SNMP engineID: 0x800002a2036c2b59fbd8a0
