NOTE: the 800007e580eb3cda468bf00743 is the engineID of the snmptrapd
program. I couldn't figure out how to set it, and found it hidden
in file /var/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf. The -e option to set
the engineID on the utilities has another meaning for snmptrapd.
The man pages didn't say how to set the engineID for snmptrapd.
You got to have it to set up the USM table in the agent!!!!!!!!
Most persistent config file tokens (like oldEngineID) are notoriously
undocumented, unfortunately. We've discussed this on the list recently
and agreed to do better, but noone has started the work yet. Unless Dave
or someone else starts something real soon (which I'd prefer), I'll
write something up, commit it to CVS and let it cook. You've been
warned! ;-)
SNMP engine ID: 00000063000000a1c0a8a842 (IP 192.168.168.66:161)
[...]
The engineID value is generated using the algorythm from SNMP research
(who has enterprise number 99 (hex 63)), and is based on the
UDP port (161, which is hex a1) and the IP address
(192.168.168.66a, which is hex c0a8a842).
Not that it matters much, but is there a specific reason why your
engineid follows old-style (pre-SNMPv3) RFC1910 instead of new-style
RFC3411 although your engine *does* support SNMPv3? Just curious.
