The Global Parameters screen contains parameters for
defining SNMP notification parameters.

SNMP > Global Parameters

Local Engine ID

Indicates the local device engine ID. The

field value is a hexadecimal string. Each byte in hexadecimal
character strings consists of two hexadecimal digits. Each
byte can be separated by a period or a colon. The Engine
ID must be defined before SNMPv3 is enabled. For stand-
alone devices, select a default Engine ID that is comprised
of Enterprise number and the default MAC address. For a
stackable system configure the Engine ID, and verify that
the Engine ID is unique for the administrative domain.
This prevents two devices in a network from having the
same Engine ID.

Use Default

Uses the device generated Engine ID. The

default Engine ID is based on the device MAC address and
is defined per standard as:

First 4 octets—first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise

number.

Fifth octet—Set to

3 to indicate the MAC address that

follows.

Last 6 octets—MAC address of the device.

SNMP Notifications

Indicates if the device can send

SNMP notifications.

Authentication Notifications

Indicates

if

SNMP

Authentication failure notification is enabled on the
device.

SNMP > Views

SNMP Views provide access or block access to device
features or feature aspects. For example, a view can be
defined that states that SNMP Group A has Read Only
(R/O) access to Multicast groups, while SNMP Group B
has Read-Write (R/W) access to Multicast groups. Feature
access is granted via the MIB name, or MIB Object ID.

SNMP > Views

are as follows:

Default

read/write views.

DefaultSuper

administrator views.

Subtree ID Tree

Indicates the device feature OID included

or excluded in the selected SNMP view. The options to
select the Subtree are as follows:

Select from List

provided.

from List field to be entered.
