Click Apply. The SNMPv3 user is added, and the Running Configuration is

Access rights in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are managed by defining communities on
the SNMP > Communities page. The community name is a type of shared
password between the SNMP management station and the device. It is used to
authenticate the SNMP management station.
Communities are only defined in SNMPv1 and v2 because SNMPv3 works with
users instead of communities. The users belong to groups that have access rights
assigned to them.
Use the Communities page to associate communities with access rights, either
directly (Basic mode) or through groups (Advanced mode):
• Basic mode—The access rights of a community can configure with Read
Only or Read Write. In addition, you can restrict the access to the
community to only certain MIB objects by selecting a view.
• Advanced Mode—The access rights of a community are defined by a
group. You can configure the group with a specific security model. The
access rights of a group are Read, Write, and Notify.
To define SNMP communities:
Click SNMP > Communities.
Click Add to add a new SNMP community.
