(Optional) Configure the local engine ID and the remote engine ID.
local-engineID:
Enter the local engine ID with 10 to 64 hexadecimal digits. The ID must contain
an even number of characters. It is a unique alphanumeric string, used to identify the SNMP
engine on the switch.
remote-engineID:
Enter the remote engine ID with 10 to 64 hexadecimal digits. The ID must
contain an even number of characters. The remote engine ID is a unique alphanumeric string. It
is used to identify the SNMP engine on the remote device that receives inform messages from
Switch.
Note that the switch will automatically generate a local engine ID if the ID is not set or is
deleted.
