Configuring SNMPv3 Management Access

To configure SNMPv3 management access to the switch, follow these steps:

2.Specify read and write access views for the switch MIB tree.

3.Configure SNMP user groups with the required security model (i.e., SNMP v1, v2c or v3) and security level (i.e., authentication and privacy).

4.Assign SNMP users to groups, along with their specific authentication and privacy passwords.
