Configures the SNMPv3 snmpEngineID.
| hex_engine_id | Specifies the colon delimited hex octet that serves as part of the snmpEngineID (5-32 octets). |
The default snmpEngineID is the device MAC address.
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.
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
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
This command is available on all platforms.
