SNMP Views

A MIB view is combination of a set of view subtrees or a family of view subtrees where each view subtree is a subtree within the managed object naming tree. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access.

A MIB view called all is created by default in the system, which contains all management objects supported by the system.

Note: If you create an excluded view subtree, create a corresponding included entry with the same view name to allow subtrees outside of the excluded subtree to be included. For example, to create a view that excludes the subtree 1.3.6.1.4, create an excluded entry with the OID 1.3.6.1.4. Then, create an included entry with OID .1 with the same view name.

Field	Description
View Name	Enter a name to identify the MIB view. View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Double quote (") is not a valid character.
Type	Specifies whether to include or exclude the view subtree or family of subtrees from the MIB view.
OID	Enter an OID string for the subtree to include or exclude from the view. OID string is 256 characters in length. For example, the system subtree is specified by the OID string .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.
Mask	The OID mask is 47 characters in length. The format of the OID mask is xx.xx.xx...or xx.xx.xx... and is 16 octets in length. Each octet is 2 hexadecimal characters separated by either . (period) or : (colon). Only hex characters are accepted in this field. For example, OID mask FA.80 is 11111010.10000000. A family mask is used to define a family of view subtrees. The family mask indicates which sub-identifiers of the associated family OID string are significant to the family's definition. A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in a table, in a more efficient manner.
SNMPv3 Views	This field shows the MIB views on the Access Point. To remove a view, select it and click Remove.

Note: After you configure the SNMPv3 Views settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings.
