The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version three (SNMPv3)
requires that an application know 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 that 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.
This document is a product of the Operations and Management Area
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now an Internet Standard.
