7.5Configuration Example: Changing the MIB View for an SNMPv1/2 Community

In software release 3.7 or 4.1, you can create a new MIB view and apply it to a specific SNMP community. This allows you, for example, to restrict write access to the ERS 8600 private MIB.

In this configuration example, we will create a new MIB view named private_restrict and apply it to a new community named no_private_comm. To accomplish these tasks, please enter the following commands:

A)Create a new MIB view named private_restrict. Note, as shown in section 6.6, the ERS 8600 Private OID is 1.3.6.1.4.

•ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 mib-view create private_restrict 1.3.6.1.4 type exclude

B)Create a new SNMP group access named no_private:

1.Add SNMP group access with a security level of noAuthNoPriv for SNMPv1 with write restrict assigned to the MIB view ‘private_restrict’ create in step A above:

•ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 group-access create no_private "" snmpv1 noAuthNoPriv

•ERS-8610-C:5#config snmp-v3 group-access view no_private "" snmpv1 noAuthNoPriv read org write private_restrict notify org

2.Add SNMP group access with security level of noAuthNoPriv for SNMPv2 with write restrict assigned to the MIB view ‘private_restrict’ create in step A above:
