SNMPv3 USM Table
This menu allows the administrator to configure the SNMP-SSL card for the SNMPv3
USM (User Security Model). SNMPv3 USM provides confidentiality and integrity for
network management communications. SNMPv3 USM also allows for user-based
authentication and access control. Rather than using the two-level “read” and “write”
community strings of prior SNMP implementations, administrators can create specific
accounts for each SNMP user and grant privileges through those users accounts.
