These parameters are displayed:

Engine ID – A new engine ID can be specified by entering 9 to 64

hexadecimal characters (5 to 32 octets in hexadecimal format). If an

odd number of characters are specified, a trailing zero is added to the

value to fill in the last octet. For example, the value “123456789” is

equivalent to “1234567890”.

Engine Boots – The number of times that the engine has

(re-)initialized since the SNMP EngineID was last configured.

ID

Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Engine - Add Remote Engine)

page to configure a engine ID for a remote management station. To allow

management access from an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you must

first specify the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote device

where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to compute the

security digest for authentication and encryption of packets passed

between the switch and a user on the remote host.
