28.2.4  View settings 
View settings define a named "view", which is a subset of the overall OID tree. This is 
most commonly a single subtree, but several view directives can be given with the same 
view name, to build up a more complex collection of OIDs.

Web Field/UCI/Package Option 
Web: Name 
UCI: snmpd.view[x].viewname 
Opt: viewname 
Specifies an arbitrary view name. Typically it describes what the 
view shows. 
Web: Type 
UCI: snmpd.view[x].type 
Opt: type 
Specifies whether the view lists oids that are included in the view 
or lists oids to be excluded from the view (in which case all other 
oids are visible apart from those ones listed). 
Web: OID 
UCI: snmpd.view[x].oid 
Opt: oid 
OID to be included in or excluded from the view. Only numerical 
representation is supported.

28.2.5  Access settings 
Access settings map from a group of users/communities, in a specific context and with a 
particular SNMP version and minimum security level, to one of three views, depending 
on the request being processed.
