What is "initial" - security name denotes?

 Hi,

I am using I-reasoning MIB browser .

>From the ethereal logs i can see 1st request it send to snmp device has
security name as (Initial).

Next request onwards it sends my username (eg;:"devicetest") along with auth
and priv keys.

Is "Inital"security name used to discover the engine id device.?

Please any one tell what will be the configuration of context if i want to
send a request with security name as initial

Note:
Context i meant is what should be the security mdel, security level(NOAUTH
AND NOPRIV /AUTH and NOPRIV/with AUTH AND PRIV)

And also what should be Auth password and Priv Password(should it contain
valid values?).

Main motive is i-reasoning mib browser works and when remote snmp device is
rebotted ,wherease net-snmp stub code not able to do this(I might have done
something wrong!!!).

Please help me in this.

Thanks in advance.
