The localized keys will be the same, meaning that if a localized key is stolen it can be used for all devices with the same engineID; 2. A conforming SNMP manager may not be able to talk to multiple devices with the same EngineID (because it will cache the engineBoots/engineTime, but different agents will have different engineBoots/engineTime values). Doing this can cause messages to be determined to be replay attacks (because the engineID in use identifies a different system). Bill
