Solution: 
First, do the following: 
  Specify zone for gi1/0/1 interface 
  Configure IP address for ge1/0/1 interfaces 
Main configuration step:  
Enable SNMP server: 
esr(config)# snmp-server 
Create SNMPv3 user: 
esr(config)# snmp-server user admin 
Specify security mode: 
esr(snmp-user)# authentication access priv 
Specify authentication algorithm for SNMPv3 requests: 
esr(snmp-user)# authentication algorithm md5 
Define password for SNMPv3 request authentication: 
esr(snmp-user)# authentication key ascii-text 123456789 
Specify transferred data encryption algorithm: 
esr(snmp-user)# privacy algorithm aes128 
Define password for transferred data encryption: 
esr(snmp-user)# privacy key ascii-text 123456789 
Enable SNMPv3 user: 
esr(snmp-user)# enable
