I think what he meant is the snmpEngineID that Spectrum uses. Since Informs need to be acknowledged from the Management Station you need to specify the Management Station's engineID so that the device knows the acknowledgment came from the correct device.
In the past when Spectrum was using an independent SNMPdamon/proxy there was a config-file for this information. But that is history. I'm not even sure if the current release supports SNMPv3 Informs anyway. Couldn't find any statements in the docs. What you could try is to run tcpdump on the SpectroSERVER while forcing the device to send out an Inform and then take a look what the SS is doing. Does it try to ACK the inform? If yes you should see the engineID in the dump. Regards, Jan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Hilmar Preuße [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Montag, 23.

Spectrum will learn it from the device. RfC 2571 3.1.1.1. snmpEngineID Within an administrative domain, an snmpEngineID is the unique and unambiguous identifier of an SNMP engine. Since there is a one-to-one association between SNMP engines and SNMP entities, it also uniquely and unambiguously identifies the SNMP entity within that administrative domain. Note that it is possible for SNMP entities in different administrative domains to have the same value for snmpEngineID. Federation of administrative domains may necessitate assignment of new values.
