RemoteEngineId Property
The Engine Id of the remote agent.
Syntax
snmpmgr.getRemoteEngineId([callback]) snmpmgr.setRemoteEngineId( remoteEngineId_Buffer, [callback])
Default Value
""
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for the getRemoteEngineId([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err, buffer){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'buffer' is the value returned by the method.
The callback for the setRemoteEngineId([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
This property is only used for SNMPv3 packets (see SNMPVersion), and is reset every time RemoteHost or RemotePort changes.
RemoteEngineId is normally discovered through the Discover method. However, by manually supplying a value for the property, RemoteEngineId discovery step may be eliminated, thus avoiding the extra roundtrip to the agent (RemoteEngineBoots and RemoteEngineTime are also required for User authentication - please refer to the Discover method for more information).
