3 Click Update. 

The Add Notification User dialog lets you add a security user authorized to receive notifications. For 
SNMPv3 notifications, a security user is required. When you add a notification agent, you select a security 
user from the list of notification users that have been added. 

Notification users aren’t needed or used for SNMPv2c. 

1 Go to Admin > Local Cluster > SNMP Settings.
2 Click Add User.
3 Configure the following settings in the Add Notification User dialog box. 

Community

For SNMPv2c, specifies the context for the information, which is the SNMP 
group to which the devices and management stations running SNMP belong. 
The RealPresence DMA system has only one valid context—by default, 
public—which is identified by this Community name. The RealPresence 
DMA system will not respond to requests from management systems that do 
not belong to its community.

V3 Local Engine Id

For SNMPv3 only.
Displays the RealPresence DMA system contextEngineID for SNMPv3.

Security User

For SNMPv3 only.
Specifies the security name required to access a monitored MIB object.
This name cannot be snmpuser.

Security user

The user name of the security user authorized to actively retrieve SNMP data.

Authentication type

The authentication protocol used to create unique fixed-sized message digests of a 
variable length message. 
The RealPresence DMA system implements communication with authentication and 
privacy (the authPriv security level, as defined in the USM MIB). 
Authentication type options:
•

MD5–Creates a digest of 128 bits (16 bytes)

SHA–Creates a digest of 160 bits (20 bytes)

Both methods include the authentication key with the SNMPv3 packet and then 
generate a digest of the entire SNMPv3 packet. 

Authentication password
Confirm password

The authentication password that’s used, together with the local engine ID, to create 
the authentication key included in the MD5 or SHA message digest.
