2.7.1Configuring SNMPv3 Security

SNMPv3 defines a method of access point data control known as the View- Based Access Control Model (VACM). It is a means of restricting access to a particular subset of data based on the security level used in the request and specifies whether access should be allowed.

SNMPv3 defines data access for each user (user group) based on identity and security level. Write access and read access to proprietary information can be limited to selective users increasing configuration alternatives in respect to sensitive data.

Select SNMPv3 Security Admin from the SNMP Configuration screen to display the SNMP User Security Configuration screen. Use this window to view defined user groups, their context (group definition) and security level.
