Configuring Local
SNMPv3 Users
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add SNMPv3 Local User) page to
authorize management access for SNMPv3 clients, or to identify the source of
SNMPv3 trap messages sent from the local switch. Each SNMPv3 user is defined by

assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group restricts users to a specific read, write, and
