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 69 for an illustration of
how the user configuration tables are linked.

Figure 69 SNMPv3 User Configuration Process

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
operator privileges. See Appendix B, SNMPv3 Configuration on page 222
for an example of manager and operator configurations.

After you configure an SNMPv3 user, you need to configure SNMPv3
message notification. This configuration is accomplished with the
following tables:

❑ Configure SNMPv3 Notify Table

❑ Configure SNMPv3 Target Address Table

❑ Configure SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table

You start the message notification configuration by defining the type of
message you want to send with the SNMPv3 Notify Table. Then you
define a IP address that is used for notification in the Configure SNMPv3
Target Address Table. This is the IP address of the SNMPv3 manager.
Finally, you associate the trap information with a user by configuring the
Configure SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table.
