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 (see Device Model Object IDs
).
Each subtree is either included or excluded in the view being defined.
The Views page enables creating and editing SNMP views. The default views (Default,
DefaultSuper) cannot be changed.
Views can be attached to groups in the Groups page or to a community which employs basic
access mode through the Communities page.
To define SNMP views:
1. Click
Configuration > System Management > SNMP > Views
.
2. Click Add to define new views.
3. Enter the parameters.
