This statement is ignored if your SNMP version is v1 or v2.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the SNMP Trap Send job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

ENGINEID engine_ID

engine_ID

(Optional) Specifies the SNMP engine ID.

Limits: Up to 256 characters; case-sensitive

Example: Specify the Default Engine ID

Suppose that you want to send the cybtrapstart trap to a network device using SNMP v3. In this example, five string parameters are passed to the trap. The host name of the network device is localhost and its port is 162. The job uses the AES privacy protocol and the SHA authentication protocol. The name of the MIB file is RFC1213-MIB.mib and the default engine ID is used. The credentials of user1 are used for authorization.
