❑ Privacy Protocol
❑ Group
To configure the SNMP security information, you associate a user and its
related information—View, Security Level, Security Model,
Authentication Level, Privacy Protocol and Group—with the type of
message and the host IP address.
SNMPv3 Tables The SNMPv3 configuration is neatly divided into configuring SNMPv3
user information and configuring the message notification. You must
configure all seven tables to successfully configure the SNMPv3
protocol. You use the following tables for user configuration:
❑ Configure SNMPv3 User Table
❑ Configure SNMPv3 View Table
❑ Configure SNMPv3 Access Table
❑ Configure SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup Table
First, you create a user in the Configure SNMPv3 User Table. Then you
define the MIB view this user has access to in the Configure SNMPv3
View Table. To configure a security group and associate a MIB view to a
security group, you configure the Configure SNMPv3 Access Table.
Finally, configure the Configure SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup menu to
associate a user to a security group. See Figure 104 for an illustration of
how the user configuration tables are linked.

In general, you focus on configuring security groups and then add and
delete users from the groups as needed. For example, you may want to
have two groups—one for manager privileges and a second one for
