Enabling SNMPv3

The snmpv3 enable command starts a dialog that performs three functions:
enabling the switch to receive SNMPv3 messages, configuring the initial users,
and, optionally, to restrict non-version 3 messages to "read only". Figure 15-1
shows an example of this dialog.
For most SNMPv3 management software to be able to create new users, they
must have an initial user record clone. These records can be downgraded,
given less features, but not upgraded with new features added. For this reason
it is recommended that a second user with SHA and DES are created at the
time you enable SNMPv3

SNMPv3 Users

The second step to use SNMPv3 on the switch is to configure the users that
will be assigned to different groups. To establish users on the switch:
1. Add the users to the User Table. This is done with the snmpv3 user
command. To view the users in the list you use the show snmpv3 user
command. See "Adding Users" on page 15-8.
