For detailed descriptions of CLI commands for configuring SNMPv3

Please refer to the Management Interface Reference Guide supplied in
HTML format on the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch.
For security reasons, authentication passwords are invalidated if the
SNMPv3 engine id is changed.
3Com recommends you use SNMPv3 where possible for increased
security.
If you intend to manage the Switch using the web interface or the
command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to

access. These default users are listed in
CAUTION: To protect your Switch from unauthorized access, you must
change all three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not
intend to actively manage your Switch
