First, for the keywords make sure you read the StorageType definition in
mibs/SNMPv2-TC.txt as well.  It discusses what each of those keywords is
supposed to mean.

But...  your problem really has nothing to do with 'permanent' or any
other type because this:

M> But the issue is whenever the system reboots we are also changing the

Means you're going to completely lose the point of having the row
persistent in the first place.  If the EngineID is always changing then
the old users will not be useful so there is really no point in keeping
them around in the first place!

Why are you generating a new engineID on every boot?  This is really
something that isn't recommended (in fact, highly discouraged).
