Defining SNMP views
SNMP views are named groups of MIB objects that can be associated with user accounts to allow
limited access for viewing and modification of SNMP statistics and system configuration. SNMP
views can also be used with other commands that take SNMP views as an argument. SNMP views
reference MIB objects using object names, numbers, wildcards, or a combination of the three. The
numbers represent the hierarchical location of the object in the MIB tree. You can reference
individual objects in the MIB tree or a subset of objects from the MIB tree.
You can create up to 10 views on the device. This number cannot be changed.
To create an SNMP view, enter one of the following commands:
BigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view Maynes system included
BigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view Maynes system.2 excluded
BigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view Maynes 1.2.3.*.8 included
BigIron RX(config)# write mem
NOTE
The snmp-server view command supports the MIB objects as defined in RFC 1445.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server view <name> <mib-tree> included | excluded
The <name> parameter can be any alphanumeric name you choose to identify the view. The
names cannot contain spaces.
The <mib_tree> parameter is the name of the MIB object or family. MIB objects and MIB sub-trees
can be identified by a name or by the numbers called Object Identifiers (OIDs) that represent the
position of the object or sub-tree in the MIB hierarchy. You can use a wildcard (*) in the numbers to
specify a sub-tree family.
The included | excluded parameter specifies whether the MIB objects identified by the
<mib_family> parameter are included in the view or excluded from the view.
NOTE
All MIB objects are automatically excluded from any view unless they are explicitly included;
therefore, when creating views using the snmp-server view command, indicate which portion of the
MIB you want users to access.
For example, you may want to assign the view called “admin” a community string or user group. The

If the group associated with the user is unknown.
