Section 6 - Configuring SNMPv3
This section describes how to configure the SNMPv3 settings on the UAP and contains the following subsections:
•) “Configuring SNMPv3 Views” on page 75
•) “Configuring SNMPv3 Groups” on page 76
•) “Configuring SNMPv3 Users” on page 77
•) “Configuring SNMPv3 Targets” on page 78
Configuring 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.

SNMPv3 Views Configuration
The following table describes the fields you can configure 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
Specifies 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
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 field. For example,
OID mask FA.80 is 11111010.10000000.
A family mask is used to define a family of view subtrees. The family mask indicates which
sub-identifiers of the associated family OID string are significant to the family’s definition.
A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in a table, in a more efficient
manner.
