SNMP agent: engineBoots value is wrapping

Explanation

The SNMP engineBoots value read from the boots file was greater than or equal to the maximum possible engineBoots value (2,147,483,647). It is incremented each time the agent restarts.

System action

The SNMP agent ends.

Operator response

None.

System programmer response

To ensure the security of SNMPv3 requests, the engineBoots value is incremented on each restart of the agent. When the engineBoots value reaches the maximum, good security practices suggest that all configured user secrets (keys) be regenerated before restarting the SNMP agent. Erase the boots file or change the value of engineBoots in the file to zero. Then restart the SNMP agent.

Module

Procedure name
