 Introduction
A number of DCIM applications require the Engine ID information to add our G5 to their application for SNMPv3 communication. The G5 EngineID can be determined using Method #2.3: MAC Address format scheme. (RFC 3411)
 

Purpose

Each G5 PDU has a unique Engine Id, so the procedure below will assist you in discovering this information.

Requirements

G5 PDU need to be powered on and connected to the network.

Procedure

  1. Log into the G5 web interface and from the home icon click the identification option.

  1. The parts of the Engine ID are made up of the identity of the enterprise, format schema and MAC address. In Panduit’s case the enterprise identity is “19536” and the format schema is “3”. The SNMP Engine ID is composed of a series of octets (bytes). To simplify this for you the first two parts will be the Enterprise ID “80004c50” followed by the scheme “03” and then the mac address. Combining these values with e sample MAC address about would be: “80004c5003000f9c012077”
