help with configuring snmp v3

[baselzind]

i have switches already configured with snmpv3 and i need to move the configuration to other switches and have some understanding of the commands:

1-does "access snmplist" is an access-list that points to the server which is using the snmp like solarwinds?

2- what does "snmp-server source-interface informs Vlan20" do?

3-what does "snmp-server contact NET TSD-Network Department" do as well?

4-can i copy paste this configuration on all switches on the site and it will do the same effect?

snmp-server group swi v3 auth read sample write sample access snmplist   
snmp-server view sample iso included
snmp-server view sample dod included
snmp-server view sample internet included
snmp-server source-interface informs Vlan20
snmp-server location dubai
snmp-server contact NET TSD-Network Department

BB - check the ACL in you switch has snmplist <<- ues solarwinds IP address here

2- what does "snmp-server source-interface informs Vlan20" do?

BB - souce of the interface where it uses to send trap to SOALRWINDS

3-what does "snmp-server contact NET TSD-Network Department" do as well?

BB - This is where the switch department belong for information base

4-can i copy paste this configuration on all switches on the site and it will do the same effect?

BB - as long as same ACL available and VLAN 20 available it should work

Hi
wheres your snmp user config its hidden part of the config ? should be a line snmp-server user swi and you should really avail of AES and SHA if using SNMPv3

snmp user config does not show in running config if you copied this from somewhere , without it it wont work
example
