SNMP Views
SNMP Users
These entities function together to implement the SNMPv3 security features. Views are created to allow access to
subtrees of the MIB.
Adding an SNMP Manager
You must configure the CloudBridge appliance to allow the appropriate SNMP managers to query it. You must also provide
the SNMP manager with the required appliance-specific information. For an IPv4 SNMP manager you can specify a host
name instead of the manager's IP address. If you do so, you must add a DNS name server that resolves the host name of
the SNMP manager to its IP address.
You must configure at least one SNMP manager. If you do not configure an SNMP manager, the appliance does not accept
or respond to SNMP queries from any IP address on the network. If you configure one or more SNMP managers, the
appliance accepts and responds only to SNMP queries from those specific IP addresses.
To conf igure an SNMP manager
1. Navigate to the System > Configuration page.
2. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand System, and then expand SNMP.
3. Click Managers.
4. In the details pane, click Add.
5. In the Add SNMP Manager Community dialog box, set the following parameters:
SNMP Manager— IPv4 address of the SNMP manager. Alternatively, instead of an IPv4 address, you can specify a
host name that has been assigned to an SNMP manager. If you do so, you must add a DNS name server that resolves
the host name of the SNMP manager to its IP address.
Community— The SNMP community string. Can consist of 1 to 31 characters that include uppercase and lowercase
letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) pound (#), at (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore (_) characters.
6. Click Add, and then click Close.
Configuring an SNMP View
SNMP views restrict user access to specific portions of the MIB. SNMP views are used to implement access control.
To configure a view
1. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand System, and then expand SNMP.
2. Click Views.
3. In the details pane, click Add.
4. In the Add SNMP View dialog box, set the following parameters:
Name— Name for the SNMPv3 view. Can consist of 1 to 31 characters that include uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) pound (#), at (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore (_) characters. You should
choose a name that helps identify the SNMPv3 view.
Subtree— A particular branch (subtree) of the MIB tree, which you want to associate with this SNMPv3 view. You
must specify the subtree as an SNMP OID.
Type— Include or exclude the subtree, specified by the subtree parameter, in or from this view. This setting can be
useful when you have included a subtree, such as A, in an SNMPv3 view and you want to exclude a specific subtree of
A, such as B, from the SNMPv3 view.
