 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-v 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-v Updated general documentation:

RESOLVED.

<richlv> thanks. the discovery section is still quite lightweight, but that's out of scope for this issue
