Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.1 for EX Series switches.
Description
The local engine ID is defined as the administratively unique identifier of an SNMPv3
engine, and is used for identification, not for addressing. There are two parts of an engine
ID: prefix and suffix. The prefix is formatted according to the specifications defined in
RFC 3411,
An Architecture for Describing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Management Frameworks
. You can configure the suffix here.
NOTE:
SNMPv3 authentication and encryption keys are generated based on
the associated passwords and the engine ID. If you configure or change the
engine ID, you must commit the new engine ID before you configure SNMPv3
users. Otherwise the keys generated from the configured passwords are
based on the previous engine ID.
For the engine ID, we recommend using the MAC address of fxp0.
Options
local engine-id-suffix
—Explicit setting for the engine ID suffix.
use-default-ip-address
—The engine ID suffix is generated from the default IP address.
use-mac-address
—The SNMP engine identifier is generated from the MAC address of
the management interface on the router.
