Enabling SNMPv3

	The snmpv3 enable command allows the switch to:
	■	Receive SNMPv3 messages.
	■	Configure initial users.
	■ Restrict non-version 3 messages to “read only” (optional).
	Figure 13-1shows an example of how to use the snmpv3 enable command.
N o t e :	To create new users, most SNMPv3 management software requires an initial
S N M P	user record to clone. The initial user record can be downgraded and provided
Ve r s i o n 3	with fewer features, but not upgraded by adding new features. For this reason
I n i t i a l U s e r s	it is recommended that when you enable SNMPv3, you also create a second
	user with SHA authentication and DES privacy.
