User Guidelines
The @ character is reserved for future use. It is not accepted in a community
string. The question mark is the CLI help trigger. It may not be used in a
community name. The backslash is a programmatic escape character. It may
not be used in a community name.
You cannot specify a
view-name for su, which has access to the whole MIB.
You can use the view name to restrict the access rights of a community string.
When it is specified:
• An internal security name is generated.
• The internal security name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models is
mapped to an internal group name.
