Section 6 - Conguring SNMPv3

This section describes how to congure the SNMPv3 settings on the UAP and contains the following subsections:

•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Views” on page 75

•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Groups” on page 76

•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Users” on page 77

•) “Conguring SNMPv3 Targets” on page 78

Conguring SNMPv3 Views

A MIB view is a combination of a set of view subtrees or a family of view subtrees where each view subtree is a

subtree within the managed object naming tree. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3

users can access.

A MIB view called “all” is created by default in the system. This view contains all management objects supported by

the system.

Note: If you create an excluded view subtree, create a corresponding included entry with the

same view name to allow subtrees outside of the excluded subtree to be included. For example, to

create a view that excludes the subtree 1.3.6.1.4, create an excluded entry with the OID 1.3.6.1.4.

Then, create an included entry with OID .1 with the same view name.

Figure 40 - SNMPv3 Views Conguration

The following table describes the elds you can congure on the SNMPv3 Views page.

Field Description

View Name Enter a name to identify the MIB view.

View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

Type Species 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 specied by the OID string .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.

Mask The OID 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 2 hexadecimal characters separated

by either . (period) or : (colon). Only hex characters are accepted in this eld. For example,

OID mask FA.80 is 11111010.10000000.

A family mask is used to dene a family of view subtrees. The family mask indicates which

sub-identiers of the associated family OID string are signicant to the family’s denition.

A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in a table, in a more efcient

manner.
