I am using net-snmp manager to receive informs. It is generating the engineId by its own. I want to set the engineId to a specific value. How to configure the same?
What version are you running? The snmpd.conf(5) manual page in 5.2.2.pre3 documents the following settings:
- ---snip --- engineID STRING The snmpd agent needs to be configured with a unique engineID to be able to respond to SNMPv3 messages. With this configuration file line, the engineID will be configured from STRING. engineIDType 1|2|3 Defines that the engineID should be built from the IPv4 address (1), IPv6 address (2) or MAC address (3). Beware that you might run into trouble on IP address changes! engineIDNic interface Defines the interface (e.g. "eth1") that should be used to determine the MAC address in case of "engineIDType 3". Default is eth0. If neither an engineID, engineIDType or engineIDNic directive is present, the value of the engineID is built from 2 fairly random ele- ments: a random number and the current time in seconds. This is the recommended approach. - --- snap ---
Also I want to print the generated engineId. Where , in which file should I edit to print the engineId.
It is automatically written into the persistent configuration file (/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf by default on Un*x) as "oldEngineId <value in hex>".
