Configuring USM Timeliness Mechanism

Configure the snmpEngineID and SNMPEngineBoots from the command line. The snmpEngineID can be configured from the command line, but when the snmpEngineID is changed, default users revert back to their original passwords/keys, and non-default users are removed from the device.

SNMPEngineBoots can be set to any desired value but will latch on its maximum, 2147483647.

  1. To set the snmpEngineID, use the following command:
    configure snmpv3 engine-id hex_engine_id
  2. To set the SNMPEngineBoots, use the following command:
    configure snmpv3 engine-boots (1-2147483647)
