Cisco Small Business WAP371 Wireless Access Point Administration Guide
An SNMP MIB view is a family of view subtrees in the MIB hierarchy. A view subtree is
identified by the pairing of an Object Identifier (OID) subtree value with a bit string mask
value. Each MIB view is defined by two sets of view subtrees, included in or excluded from
the MIB view. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can
access.
The AP supports a maximum of 16 views.
These notes summarize some critical guidelines regarding SNMPv3 view configuration.
Please read all the notes before proceeding.
A MIB view called all is created by default in the system. This view contains all management
objects supported by the system.
By default, view-all and view-none SNMPv3 views are created on the WAP device. These
views cannot be deleted or modified.
To add and configure an SNMP view:
Select SNMP > Views in the navigation pane.
Click Add to create a new row in the SNMPv3 Views table.
Check the box in the new row and click Edit:
• View Name—Enter a name that identifies the MIB view. View names can contain up to
32 alphanumeric characters.
• Type—Choose 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 specified by the OID string .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.
• Mask—Enter an OID mask. The 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 two
hexadecimal characters separated by either a period (.) or a colon (:). Only hex
characters are accepted in this field.
For example, OID mask FA.80 is 11111010.10000000.
