The SNMP Security Global Parameters Page contains the
following fields:

Local Engine ID (0-32 Characters) — Displays the
local device Engine ID. The field value is a hexadecimal
string. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings
is two hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or a colon. The Engine ID must be defined before
SNMPv3 is enabled. Select a default Engine ID that is comprised of an Enterprise number and the default MAC address.
Use Default — Uses the device-generated Engine ID. The default Engine ID is based on the device MAC address and
is defined per standard as:

First 4 octets — first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number.
Fifth octet — Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.
Last 6 octets — MAC address of the device.

2. Define the Local Engine ID and Use Default fields.
