Can I override the defVersion in host specific conf files?

Hi,

I'm trying to set up SNMP monitoring of many of our devices. Since most of
them support SNMPv3 I've set up the following in my /etc/snmp/snmp.conf:
defVersion 3
defSecurityLevel authPriv
defAuthType SHA
defPrivType AES
defAuthPassphrase REDACTED
defPrivPassphrase  REDACTED
defSecurityName USER

I'm able to override the Version 3 parameters such as defSecurityLevel,
defAuthType and the passphrases for the devices which support SNMPv3 in
host specific configuration files in /etc/snmp/hosts/, but I can't find any
way to specify in a host-specific configuration that the host uses version
2c or version 1. Is there any way to do that, if the general default is
version 3?

I'm running NET-SNMP version: 5.9.1 on an Ubuntu 24.04 system.

Thanks,
Ari
