Description
Using SNMP V3 many device support the use of context parameter (see http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/How_can_I_set_the_SNMPv3_context) in my case i need it for monitoring the new Brocade 85xx Class, they use "context" to create virtual fabric an example of use:
> snmpwalk -v 3 -u admin -c public "switchname" -n VF:128
The "VF:128" is used to retrieve the value from the switch context 128.
I see some path from the forum but is very old http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10399
Ask me for testing!

(3) for those who did not participate in the small contest - user documentation
<richlv> maartinj, can you please take a look at this ?
Martins Valkovskis It has been included in 'what's new' - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/introduction/whatsnew220#snmpv3_monitoring
RESOLVED.
<richlv> thanks, but i could not find that mentioned anywhere else. if somebody just reads snmp documentation, they would not find out about this at all. when documenting it, we should probably have one common place where we could describe this functionality, then also link from network discovery, lld and maybe some other sections
Martins Valkovskis Updated general documentation:

- https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/appendix/macros/supported_by_location#additional_support_for_user_macros
RESOLVED.
<richlv> thanks. the discovery section is still quite lightweight, but that's out of scope for this issue
