It must comprise an even number ofhexadecimal characters, in the range of 10 to 64. All-zero and all-F strings are invalid.DescriptionUse the snmp-agent local-engineid command to configure the SNMP engine ID of the local SNMPagent.Use the undo snmp-agent local-engineid command to restore the default local engine ID.By default, the local engine ID is the combination of the company ID and the device ID. Device ID variesby product and could be an IP address, a MAC address, or a user-defined hexadecimal string.An engine ID has two functions:• For all devices managed by one NMS, each device needs a unique engine ID to identify the SNMPagent. By default, each device has an engine ID. The network administrator has to make sure thatthere is no repeated engine ID within an SNMP domain.• In SNMPv3, the user name and cipher text password are associated with the engine ID. Therefore,if the engine ID changes, the user name and cipher text password configured under the engine IDbecome invalid.Typically, the device uses its default engine ID. To make engine IDs easy to remember, you can set engineIDs for the devices according to the network planning. For example, if both device 1 and device 2 areon the first floor of building A, you can set the engine ID of device 1 to 000Af0010001, and that ofdevice 2 to 000Af0010002.Related commands: snmp-agent usm-user.Examples# Configure the local engine ID as 123456789A. system-view[Sysname] snmp-agent local-engineid 123456789A
