5.3.17 SNMPv3 USM Configuration
This SNMPv3 uses the User-Based Security Model (USM) and is specified in RFC2574. The USM has the concept of multi-
ple users where each user provides secret keys for authentication and privacy. The authentication protocols specified for use
are HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA. The privacy protocol specified is CBC-DES.
From the panel the administrator can activate this model for one or devices, similar to other MDTI applications.
The fields filled in when the administrator creates an SNMPv3 user are the same as in 3.2.6.
Refer to the following figure.
