Command Usage

• The SNMP engine ID is used to compute the authentication/privacy

digests from the password. You should therefore configure the engine
ID with the snmp-server engine-id command before using this
configuration command.

• Before you configure a remote user, use the snmp-server engine-id

command (page 20-10) to specify the engine ID for the remote device
where the user resides. Then use the snmp-server user command to
specify the user and the IP address for the remote device where the
user resides. The remote agent’s SNMP engine ID is used to compute
authentication/privacy digests from the user’s password. If the remote
engine ID is not first configured, the snmp-server user command
specifying a remote user will fail.

• SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the

authoritative agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the
remote agent. You therefore need to configure the remote agent’s
SNMP engine ID before you can send proxy requests or informs to it.
