Configure SNMP Views

When assigned to an SNMP community, an SNMP view controls access to a defined set of OID trees. For information about SNMP communities, see Configure an SNMP Community .

  1. Define the systemInfo SNMP view providing access to the following OID tree:

    2. > snmp view add systemInfo included 1.3.6.1.4.1.3697.1.50

  2. Assign this view to the sysInfo community:

    3. > snmp community add ro unguessable view=systemInfo

    The sysInfocommunity can now access data in the .1.3.6.1.4.1.3697.1.50 OID tree.
