SNMPv3 Enable
The snmpv3 enable command starts a dialog that performs three functions:
enabling the switch to receive SNMPv3 messages, configuring the initial users,
and, optionally, to restrict non version-3 messages to “read only”. Figure 12-1
shows and example of this dialog.
Note:

Version 3
Initial Users
For most SNMPv3 management software to be able to create new users, they
must have an initial user record clone. These records can be downgraded,
(given fewer features), but not upgraded with new features added. For this
reason ProCurve recommends that you create a second user with SHA and
DES at when you enable SNMPv3
