String values that contains white space must be delimited by quotation marks
(").
A line is considered a comment and ignored if it starts with a hash (#).
Some fields shall have an OBJECT IDENTIFIER as the value. An OBJECT
IDENTIFIER is the complete OID from the root or the MIB tree, written as
numbers separated by dots. E.g. an OBJECT IDENTIFIER for the sysName
object defined in the MIB-2 systems group would be 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5 .
If the OBJECT IDENTIFIER is not part of an enterprise specific object, the
OBJECT IDENTIFIER may be substituted by its name. The sysName object
would thus be sysName . It is possible to start the OBJECT IDENTIFIER with
a substituted name, and continue with the remaining fields. The sysName could
be written as system.5 because system represents 1.3.6.1.2.1.1, or as mib-
2.1.5 . Similar, all the enterprise MIB objects can start with enterprises ,
as this represents 1.3.6.1.4.1.
The following entry keywords are supported. For full description on the
meaning of the entry, please refer to the description in the corresponding RFC.

Configuration Procedure

The configuration procedure involves the following steps:
1. Define an SNMPv3 user or community.
2. Define a family of view sub-trees, MIB views. The MIB view defines a set
of managed information that may be accessed.
3. Define a group and its associated access rights. The group is assigned the
MIB views for read, write and notification access.
4. Assign SNMPv3 user or SNMPv1/v2c community names to the group.
The associations between the MIB views, the groups and the principals
(users/community names) are shown in the figure below.
