6.4.4.4 Configuring Remote SNMPv3 Users
Each SNMPv3 user is defined by a unique name. Users must be configured with
a specific security level and assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group restricts
users to a specific read and a write view.
To send inform messages to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, first specify
the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote device where the user
resides. The remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for
authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user on the remote host. (See
“Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types” on page 110 and “Specifying a
Remote Engine ID” on page 115.)
Command Attributes

identifier must be specified before a remote user can be configured.
(See 6.4.4.2 "Specifying a Remote Engine ID" 115.)
• Remote IP – The Internet address of the remote device where the user
