Configuring SNMPv3 Users
The SNMPv3 user is anyone who requires management operations to be
authorized by a particular SNMP entity. SNMP entities must have knowledge
of a user and the user’s attributes.
Configuring an SNMPv3 user involves the following:
1. Specifying a user’s name.
2. Specifying the user’s security attributes for an SNMP entity.
3. Specifying the storage type for the user.
4. Specifying the status of the user.
The following table describes the parameters that you set to configure SNMP
users:
