4.3.3.2 SNMPv3 Remote Engine ID
To send inform messages to a 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 authenticating
and encrypting packets sent to a user on the remote host.
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.
(See “ Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types ” and “ Configuring Remote SNMPv3 Users ”.)
A new engine ID can be specified by entering 10 to 64 hexadecimal characters. If an odd number of characters are specified,
the last character is dropped. For example, entering the value “12345678901” sets the engine ID as “1234567890”.
