If this is impossible, I should use v3 based usm.
But I heard that
the v3 mode on net-snmp, since engine ID is generated based on an IP address,
we have to use it in a fixed IP address environment.
Is this correct?
No, by default the engine ID is built from 2 fairly random elements:
a random number and the current time in seconds. (The snmpd.conf(5)
manpage was wrong on this until recently.)
So there shouldn't be a problem deploying SNMPv3 USM in a DHCP environment.
