SNMP V3 setup on PowerConnect 5524
I am trying to enable SNMP v3 for monitoring the switch. I have completed the following commands:
snmp-server engine local default
snmp-server group sgroup v3 auth read rogroup write rwgroup
snmp-server user s3user rwgroup v3 auth md5 *******
snmp-server view sview system included
However when I attempt to connect with the switch it reports that the logon fails due to "BAD CONTEXT" I have tried to use all the group names above however, I can not get past this point. With the commands above what is the Context of the user s3user? or am I missing a command to setup the context.
Thanks
James s.

Here is a compressed Running-Config (passwords, IP, port-configs removed). and Show snmp after. I find it interesting that show snmp shows nothing.

I am using Paessler SNMP tester. This tester allows you to insert usernames, passwords, contexts and perform basic queries. Here is the result of a test where I set SNMP V3, user:S3user, MD5 ***** password, context: sgroup, I am attempting to read device uptime. I know the password is correct as I put in a bad password for testing and received a different error.
Paessler SNMP Tester 5.1.2
