SNMP v3 user parameters
Only access_view and access_mode parameters can be directly changed. Encryption
protocols are changed through change_password.
SNMP v3 users
UserSNMP and adminSNMP are included for retro-compatibility purposes. It is
recommended to use users relying on SHA and AES encryption.
In the case of SNMP v3 the default passwords can be modified using the parameters under the
change password sub-tree:
