Configuring Remote SNMPv3 Users
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add SNMPv3 Remote User) page to identify the source of SNMPv3 inform
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.
Command Usage
To grant management access to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you must first specify the engine identifier for the SNMP
agent on the remote device where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for authentication
and encryption of packets passed between the switch and the remote user. (See the
and the
The following table lists the options on this page:

Enter a name and assign it to a group. Enter the IP address to identify the source of SNMPv3 inform messages sent from the
local switch. If the security model is set to SNMPv3 and the security level is authNoPriv or authPriv, then an authentication
protocol and password must be specified. If the security level is authPriv, a privacy password must also be specified.

Security Model
The user security model; SNMP v1, v2c or v3.
Security Level
The following security levels are only used for the groups assigned to the SNMP security model:
• noAuthNoPriv - There is no authentication or encryption used in SNMP communications. (This is
the default security level.)
• AuthNoPriv - SNMP communications use authentication, but the data is not encrypted.
• AuthPriv - SNMP communications use both authentication and encryption.
Authentication Protocol
