Configuring SNMPv3 basic parameters
SNMPv3 users are managed in groups. All SNMPv3 users in a group share the same security
model, but can use different authentication and privacy key settings. To implement a security model
for a user and avoid SNMP communication failures, make sure the security model configuration for
the group and the security key settings for the user are compliant with Table 16 and match the
settings on the NMS.
