RemoteEngineTime Property
The remote engine time (SNMPv3).
Syntax
snmptcpmgr.getRemoteEngineTime([callback]) snmptcpmgr.setRemoteEngineTime( remoteEngineTime, [callback])
Default Value
0
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 getRemoteEngineTime([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err, data){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'data' is the value returned by the method.
The callback for the setRemoteEngineTime([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
RemoteEngineTime is used by SNMPv3 authentication to ensure timeliness of requests, and avoid replay attacks.
The value of RemoteEngineTime is provided as what is expected to be the current value of the remote engine clock based on a cached time differential between the remote engine clock and the local engine time obtained during the discovery process (see Discover).
This property is used in conjunction with RemoteEngineBoots. Please refer to the RemoteEngineBoots property and the Discover method for more information.
