SNMP v3 Security Settings

Before NerveCenter can poll SNMP v3 agents, the agents must be configured to support a NerveCenter user. By default the user name is NCUser, though you can change the name in NerveCenter Administrator.

The NerveCenter user (NCUser) shall have a context (NCContext by default) and two passwords (authentication and privacy). You must supply the authentication and privacy passwords for the NerveCenter user configured on your devices. The security level and authentication protocol are set at the node level in NerveCenter Client.
