Any ideas on the use of engine id (please see beliw ), is it ony used when
communicating with proxies , is there document/rfc section I can refer to
?
Any help is greatly appreciated .
What is the correct us of the context engine id . I tried to set the context
and test out v3 accesx on the cisco router . Attached are two logs from the
same , in one case when I gave only the context name to snmpget and i got
an exception .
Can you please tell me what is happening here and what is the right way to
setup.
./snmpGet 172.17.0.20 -v3 -md5 -des -sntc -uatc -uptc
-ce800000090300000000000000 > cnandce
./snmpGet 172.17.0.20 -v3 -md5 -des -sntc -uatc -uptc
-ce800000090300000000000000 > cn
Thanks
Anurag
