That's the typical configuration, yes. It would be relatively unusual to have different values for these two fields (unless one SNMP agent was acting as a proxy for another). > - What is the differnce between the two? These two engine IDs are associated with the security name and context name respectively. See RFC 3411 for the full descriptions. So the same username applied to two different agents (i.e. engine IDs) might well have different passphrases, etc. > if we don't specify '-e' but specify '-E' , then does agent need to check > only for -E value? If you don't specify a value for -E, then the request will use the agent's own internal engine ID to qualify the authentication name. Similarly, if you don't specify a value for -e, then the request will use the agent's own internal engine ID to qualify the context name. > Also: what is the Max length of SnmpEngineID value? > is it 32 as defined in SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB? Yes. > is this 32 can be translated as max 64 digits? 64 hex digits, yes. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
