Modifying the Security Name (User Name)

In the AT-S63 implementation of the SNMPv3 protocol, the Security
Name and the User Name parameters are equivalent. In the SNMPv3
Target Parameters Table menu, the Security Name and the User Name
parameters are used interchangeably.

When you modify the Security Name parameter, you must use a value
that you configured with the User Name parameter in the Configure
SNMPv3 User Table menu. If you do not use a value configured with the
User Name parameter, messages are not sent on behalf of this User
Name. See ”Creating an SNMPv3 User Table Entry” on page 328.

To modify the Security Name parameter in an SNMPv3 Target Parameter
Table entry, perform the following procedure.

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 in the procedure described in ”Creating an

SNMPv3 User Table Entry” on page 328. Or, from the Main Menu type
5->1->1->8->5.

The Configure SNMPv3 Table menu is shown in Figure 106 on
page 329.

2. From the Configure SNMPv3 Table menu, type 8 to select Configure

SNMPv3 Target Address Table.

The Configure SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table menu is shown in
Figure 119.

3. From the Configure SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table menu, type 3 to

select Modify SNMPv3 Table Entry.
