configure snmpv3 engine-id

configure snmpv3 engine-id hex_engine_id

Decription

Configures the SNMPv3 snmpEngineID.

Syntax Description

hex_engine_id Specifies the colon delimited hex octet that serves as part of the snmpEngineID (5-32 octets).

Default

The default snmpEngineID is the device MAC address.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command if the snmpEngineID needs to be explicitly configured. The first four octets of the ID are fixed to 80:00:07:7C,which represents Extreme Networks Vendor ID. Once the snmpEngineID is changed, default users are reverted back to their original passwords/keys, while non-default users are removed from the device.

In a chassis, the snmpEngineID is generated using the MAC address of the MSM/MM with which the switch boots first. For MSM/MM hitless failover, the same snmpEngineID is propagated to both of the MSMs/MMs.

Example

The following command configures the snmpEngineID to be 80:00:07:7C:00:0a:1c:3e:11:

configure snmpv3 engine-id 00:0a:1c:3e:11
