remote_engine_id Property

The Engine Id of the remote agent.

Syntax

def get_remote_engine_id() -> bytes: ...
def set_remote_engine_id(value: bytes) -> None: ...

remote_engine_id = property(get_remote_engine_id, set_remote_engine_id)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is only used for SNMPv3 packets (see snmp_version), and is reset every time remote_host or remote_port changes.

remote_engine_id is normally discovered through the discover method. However, by manually supplying a value for the property, remote_engine_id discovery step may be eliminated, thus avoiding the extra roundtrip to the agent (remote_engine_boots and remote_engine_time are also required for user authentication - please refer to the discover method for more information).
