For groups of SNMPv3, choose a security level 
among noAuthNoPriv (no authorization and no encryption), authNoPriv (authorization and 
no encryption), authPriv (authorization and encryption). The default  is noAuthNoPriv. Please 
note that if you have chosen v1 or v2c as the security mode, the security level cannot be
