Configuring SNMP Views
A view is a user-defined label for a collection of MIB tree subtrees. Each subtree ID 
is defined by the Object ID (OID) of the root of the relevant subtrees. In extreme 
cases, this subtree can be a leaf, only. Well-known names can be used to specify 
the root of the desired subtree or an OID can be entered (see Model OIDs). 
Each subtree is either included or excluded in the view being defined.
The 
SNMP Views Page 
enables creating and editing SNMP views. The default 
views (Default, DefaultSuper) cannot be changed.
Views can be attached to groups in the Groups Page.
To define SNMP views:
STEP 1 Click SNMP > Views. The 
SNMP Views Page
 opens.
STEP  2 Select the user-defined views from the Filter: View Name list. The following views 
exist by default:
• Default—Default SNMP view for read and read/write views.
• DefaultSuper—Default SNMP view for administrator views.
Other views can be added.
• Object ID Subtree—Displays the subtree to be included or excluded in the 
SNMP view. 
• Object ID Subtree View Type—Displays whether the defined subtree is 
included or excluded in the selected SNMP view.
STEP  3 Click Add to define new views. The 
Add View Page
 opens.
