This command sets the ID of the router’s SNMP engine to
string. The engine ID
is used by SNMP Version 3 when it computes various cryptographic
keys. This book doesn’t cover SNMPv3 configuration, so there
isn’t a lot to say about the engine ID. However, if you have
configured SNMPv3, it is important to know that changing the engine
ID has many side effects, including invalidating the authentication
information for all SNMP users.
The ID string is 24 characters long. If you do not specify the entire 24 characters, it will be padded with zeros on the right.
