Setting of EngineID

[Sanjay Madan]

Hi Dave,   I have found out the OID for engine ID as 1.3.6.1.6.3.10.2.1.1 in the SNMP FRAMEWORK MIB. But this object is defined as read only. So if I pass this OID in the snmpset command, naturally it will throw me an error as "this object is not writable". Also I found some set options at the site whose link is http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man5/snmpcmd.5.asp . But this link does not specifically specify actually which command other than snmpset (if any) could be used with options such as -e and -E to set authoritative and context engine ID. I again tried the below mentioned way with both -e and -E options, one at a time but to no use..Can you please tell me a way to do so..   snmpset -v 3 -u tina -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A tina12345  -e   800000020109840310  10.254.24.277   WIth Regards; Sanjay Madan
