SNMPv3 Views

An SNMP MIB view is a family of view subtrees in the MIB hierarchy. A view subtree is identified by the pairing of an Object Identifier (OID) subtree value with a bit string mask value. Each MIB view is defined by two sets of view subtrees, included in or excluded from the MIB view. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access.

The WAP device supports a maximum of 16 views.

This section summarizes the critical guidelines for the SNMPv3 view configuration. Please read all the notes before proceeding.

Note

AMIB view called all is created by default in the system. This view contains all management objects supported by the system.

Note

By default, view-all and view-none SNMPv3 views are created on the WAP device. These views cannot be deleted or modified.

To add and configure an SNMP view, do the following:

Procedure

Step 1

Select Management > SNMPv3

Step 2

Click ✚ to create a new row in the SNMPv3 Views table or check the check box for existing views, then click Edit.

  • View Name — Enter a name that identifies the MIB view. View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

  • Type — Choose 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. For example, the system subtree is specified by the OID string.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.

  • Mask — Enter an OID mask. The 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 two hexadecimal characters separated by either a period (.) or a 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 enables efficient control access to one row in a table.

Step 3

Click Save.

Note

To remove a view, check the view in the list and click Delete.
