Use the SNMP > SNMPv3 > Remote Engine ID) page to configure a engine
ID for a remote management station. To allow management access from
an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you must first specify the engine
identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote device where the user resides.
The remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for
authentication and encryption of packets passed between the switch and a
user on the remote host.

SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the authoritative
agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent.
You therefore need to configure the remote agent’s SNMP engine ID
before you can send proxy requests or informs to it. (See “ Configuring
Remote SNMPv3 Users .”)

These parameters are displayed:
Remote Engine ID – The engine ID can be specified by entering 9 to
64 hexadecimal characters (5 to 32 octets in hexadecimal format). If
an odd number of characters are specified, a trailing zero is added to
the value to fill in the last octet. For example, the value “123456789” is
equivalent to “1234567890”.
Remote IP Host – The IP address of a remote management station
which is using the specified engine ID.
