Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add SNMPv3 Remote
User) page to identify the source of SNMPv3 inform messages sent from
the local switch. Each SNMPv3 user is defined by a unique name. Users
must be configured with a specific security level and assigned to a group.
The SNMPv3 group restricts users to a specific read, write, and notify view.

To grant management access to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device,
◆
you must first specify the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the
remote device where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to
compute the security digest for authentication and encryption of
packets passed between the switch and the remote user. (See
