SNMPv3: Unknown Engine ID

[BobGreer65666]

Hi there,

Thanks for reading

I'm trying to set up a PRIV SNMPv3 config on a C9200 running 17.6.3 to allow connection to our Solarwinds server.  Debugging leads with an "Unknown Engine ID" error.  I'm able to see the local engine ID but suspect that I need the remote Solarwinds side.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Thanks,

Bob

Here's the config:

snmp-server group acpsnmp v3 priv
snmp-server host 192.168.20.35 version 3 priv acpsnmp
SID-000_TEST-SW1(config)#do show snmp user

User name: acpsnmp
Engine ID: 8000000903006C310ECB8B00
storage-type: nonvolatile active
Authentication Protocol: SHA
Privacy Protocol: DES
Group-name: acpsnmp

Thanks!  That page had this one embedded: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/snmp/configuration/xe-3e/snmp-xe-3e-book/nm-snmp-snmpv3-comm-supp.html which had this command (which configs the engID for remote user):

Example:

Device(config)# snmp-server engineID remote 172.16.15.4 udp-port 120 1a2833c0129a

Thanks again!

Bob
