Configuring SNMP v3 access

SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3) adds security and remote configuration capabilities to previous
versions. The SNMPv3 architecture introduces the User-based Security Model (USM) for message
security and the View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for access control. The architecture
supports the concurrent use of different security, access control, and message processing
techniques.
