SNMP Version 3 Commands
The Meru System Director Command Reference has detailed descriptions of these
commands.
 snmpv3-user
 snmpv3-user auth-key
 snmpv3-user auth-protocol
 snmpv3-user priv-key
 snmpv3-user priv-protocol
 snmpv3-user target ip-address
SNMP Version 3 Support Limitations
Currently, Meru does not support the following SNMPv3 features.
 Since Meru Network Controllers do not support write access for SNMP MIBS, all
users belong to the Read View Access Control table and they are handled as Read
View with a group internally. View the Access Control Model (VACM) to determine
if a user belonging to a specific group has access (Read, Write, Notify) to the
management entity. Access Policy is defined by associating the respective read,
write or notify view with a group.

the CBC-DES (DES-56)
standard
