SNMP Views

A view is a user-defined label for a collection of MIB subtrees. Each subtree ID is defined by the Object ID (OID) of the root of the relevant subtrees. Either well-known names can be used to specify the root of the desired subtree or an OID can be entered. The Views page enables creating and editing SNMP views. The default views can’t be changed.

Views can be attached to groups or to a community which employs basic access mode through the SNMP Groups.

To configure the SNMP views, complete the following steps:

  • View Name —The name of SNMP view.

  • Object ID Subtree—Node in the MIB tree that is included or excluded in the view.

  • Object ID Subtree View—Whether the node is Included or Excluded.
