Configure the SNMPv3 Engine ID

You must specify a textual SNMP engine ID prefix, which is concatenated with a process ID and IP address by the agent's SNMP library, to operate the agent in SNMPv3.

To configure the SNMPv3 engine ID, add the following line to the sysedgeV3.cf file:

SNMP_V3_ENGINE_ID <engineIdPrefix>

The default value for engineIdPrefix is SystemEDGEAdmin. Do not use spaces in the configured string.

For example, the following line in the SNMPv3 configuration file specifies the string CompanySNMPV3ADMIN as a prefix for the SNMP engine ID:

SNMP_V3_ENGINE_ID CompanySNMPV3ADMIN
