BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 100353-1001986-01Defining SNMP views 36You 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 includedBigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view Maynes system.2 excludedBigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view Maynes 2.3.*.6 includedBigIron RX(config)# write memNOTEThe snmp-server view command supports the MIB objects as defined in RFC 1445.Syntax: [no] snmp-server view <name> <mib-tree> included | excludedThe <name> parameter can be any alphanumeric name you choose to identify the view. Thenames cannot contain spaces.The <mib_tree> parameter is the name of the MIB object or family. MIB objects and MIB sub-treescan be identified by a name or by the numbers called Object Identifiers (OIDs) that represent theposition of the object or sub-tree in the MIB hierarchy. You can use a wildcard (*) in the numbers tospecify 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.NOTEAll 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 theMIB 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 Brocade MIBs objects that begin with the 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991object identifier. Enter the following command.BigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view admin 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991 includedYou can exclude portions of the MIB within an inclusion scope. For example, if you want to excludethe snAgentSys objects, which begin with 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2 object identifier from the adminview, enter a second command such as the following.BigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view admin 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2 excludedNote that the exclusion is within the scope of the inclusion.To delete a view, use the no parameter before the command.SNMP v3 configuration examplesThe examples below shows how to configure SNMP v3.
