Defining SNMP views

If AES is the privacy protocol to be used, enter aes followed by the AES password key. For a
small password key, enter 12 characters. For a big password key, enter 16 characters. If you
include the encrypted keyword, enter a password string containing 32 hexadecimal characters.
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.
To configure the number of SNMP views available on the Dell PowerConnect device, enter the
following command.
PowerConnect(config)#system-max view 15
Syntax: system-max view <number-of-views>
This command specifies the maximum number of SNMPv2 and v3 views that can be configured on
a device. The number of views can be from 10 – 65536. The default is 10 views.
To add an SNMP view, enter one of the following commands.
PowerConnect(config)#snmp-server view Maynes system included
PowerConnect(config)#snmp-server view Maynes system.2 excluded
PowerConnect(config)#snmp-server view Maynes 2.3.*.6 included
PowerConnect(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
“admin” view will allow access to the Dell MIBs objects that begin with the 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991 object
identifier. Enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#snmp-server view admin 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991 included
