Configuring Local SNMPv3 Users
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add SNMPv3 Local User) page to authorize management access for SNMPv3
clients, or to identify the source of SNMPv3 trap messages sent from the local switch. Each SNMPv3 user is defined by a unique
name. Users must be configured with a specific security level and assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group restricts users to a
specific read, write, and notify view.
