The Global Parameter Screen contains the following fields:
• Local Engine ID
Indicates the local device engine ID. The field value is a hexadecimal
string. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings consists of two
hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or a
colon. The Engine ID must be defined before SNMPv3 is enabled. For
stand-alone devices, select a default Engine ID that is comprised of
Enterprise number and the default MAC address.
For a stackable system configure the Engine ID, and verify that the
Engine ID is unique for the administrative domain. This prevents two
devices in a network from having the same Engine ID.
• Use Default
Uses the device generated Engine ID. It’s defined per standard as:
First 4 octets — first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number. To

The default Engine ID is based on the device MAC address.

• Authentication
