Hi all,
       I am using Net-SNMP for generating SNMP traps in my product. So, I
am just shipping snmptrap.exe which I invoke with appropriate parameters.
Well, I did not face any issue with SNMP v2c.
 But with SNMP v3, I am not getting:

1.  What value should I put for -e option i.e. EngineID ?
2. Or can I set/define it to random number?

Note: I am not running(nor shipping) snmpd as I just want to add trap
capability.

Please suggest.
