Usage Guidelines

The SNMP engine ID is the only identification of the SNMP management, and it uniquely identifies an SNMP entity in one management domain. The SNMP engine ID is an important component of the SNMP entity, completing the functions of SNMP messages such as message dispatching, message processing, security authentication, and access control.

After the SNMP agent is enabled, you can run the display snmp-agent command to view the engine ID of the local SNMP entity.

Example

# Display the engine ID of the current device.

<sysname> display snmp-agent local-engineid

  SNMP local EngineID: 000007DB7F0000013859
