Title : Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Context EngineID Discovery
Author(s) : J. Schoenwaelder
Filename : draft-ietf-opsawg-snmp-engineid-discovery-02.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2008-02-13
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version three (SNMPv3)
requires that an application knows the identifier (snmpEngineID) of
the remote SNMP protocol engine in order to retrieve or manipulate
objects maintained on the remote SNMP entity.
This document introduces a well-known localEngineID and a discovery
mechanism which can be used to learn the snmpEngineID of a remote
SNMP protocol engine. The proposed mechanism is independent of the
features provided by SNMP security models and may also be used by
other protocol interfaces providing access to managed objects.
This document updates RFC 3411.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-opsawg-snmp-engineid-discovery-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
