SNMP Version 3 Engine ID

This value must be globally unique and is calculated by
the policy server upon start up using the proposed
algorithm in RFC-3411 as follows: The first four octets
of the engineID are set to the 8950 AAA enterprise
number ‘831’ with the very first bit set to 1 (8000033f),
octet number 5 is set to 01 to indicate an IPv4 address
and finally octets 6 through 9 are set the servers IP
address. This address is either the value of the server
property SNMP address, or if that address is wildcard
(*), the first non-loopback IPv4 address of the system.
Setting the SNMP V3 engine ID value explicitly will
disable the above algorithm and it is not recommended
unless absolutely necessary.
