INFORM - REPORT - SET

you cannot set the engineBoots and engineTime values. This is done 
automatically by snmp++, as this is part of the SNMPv3 standard.

This is the method to call.

The USM has two operation modes:
- with enabled discovery (default) it accepts any new engine ids when 
sending and receiving messages.

- with disabled discovery (USM::unset_discovery_mode()) you must add the 
engine ids of entities you want to contact with 
v3MP::add_to_engine_id_table() once.
