• Use Default — Uses the device generated Engine ID. The default Engine ID is based on the device
MAC address and is defined per standard as:
– First 4 octets — first bit = 1, the rest is IANA Enterprise number.
– Fifth octet — Set to 3 to indicate the MAC address that follows.
– Last 6 octets — MAC address of the device.
Defining SNMP Views
SNMP Views provide access or block access to device features or feature aspects. For example, a view
can be defined that states that SNMP Group A has Read Only (R/O) access to Multicast groups, while
SNMP Group B has Read-Write (R/W) access to Multicast groups. Feature access is granted via the MIB
name, or MIB Object ID. To define SNMP views:
1. Click System > SNMP > Security > Views. The SNMP Views Page opens:
SNMP Views Page

• View Name — Displays the user-defined views. The options are as follows:
– Default — Displays the default SNMP view for read and read/write views.
