Configuring SNMP Security
Defining SNMP Security
The SNMP Global Parameters screen permits enabling both SNMP and Authentication notifications.
• Local Engine ID. Indicates the local device engine ID. The field value is a hexadecimal string. Each byte in
hexadecimal character strings is two hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or a colon.
The Engine ID must be defined before SNMPv3 is enabled. For stand-alone devices select a default Engine ID
that is comprised of Enterprise number and the default MAC address. For a stackable system configure the
Engine ID, and verify that the Engine ID is unique for the administrative domain. This prevents two devices in
a network from having the same Engine ID.
• Use Default. Uses the device generated Engine ID. The default Engine ID is based on the device MAC address
and is defined per standard as:
• First 4 octets - first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number = 3955.
• Fifth octet - Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.
• Last 6 octets - MAC address of the device.
