DESCRIPTION
"An SNMPv2 entity's administratively-unique identifier.
The initial value for this object may be configured via an
operator console entry or via an algorithmic function
defined by the vendor or administrator. In the later case,
the following guidelines are recommended:
1) The first four octets should be set to the binary
equivalent of the device vendor's SNMP network management
private enterprise number as assigned by the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). For example, if
Acme Networks has been assigned { enterprises 696 },
the first four octets would be assigned '000002b8'H.
2) The remaining eight octets are the cookie whose
contents are determined via one or more enterprise-
specific methods. Such methods must be designed so as
to maximize the possibility that the value of this
object will be unique in the device's administrative
domain. For example, the cookie may be the IP address
of the device, or the MAC address of one of the
interfaces, with each address suitably padded with
random octets, or possibly a unique cookie determined
by the device's model# and serial#. If multiple methods
are defined, then it is recommended that the cookie be
further divided into one octet that indicates the method
being used and seven octets which are a function of
the method."
