You can convert a device from v1 polling to v3 polling by editing 
Community_Name and CommunityNameForSNMPSets, you just have to format the 
credentials correctly.

The format is        #v3/<secLevel>:<optional flags><authString>:<optional 
flags><privString>/<username>

secLevel is P for authPriv, A for authNoPriv, and N for noAuthNoPriv

optional flags let you specify non-default auth or priv protocols, SHA^ or 
3DES^ (or MD5^ and DES^ if you changed the default protocols in .vnmrc)

the authString, privString, and username are all from your credential set.

so for example,      #v3/P:thisismyauthpassword:thisismyprivpassword/someuser
or                           #v3/A:SHA^thisisadifferentauthpassword/otheruser


You can also add a context string before the username:   /<context>/<username>

See Spectrum Modeling IT Infrastructure Admin (9.2.1 docs, 5167 in older docs) 
for many examples.
