Configuring SNMP

Predefined Views

When you upgrade the switch from v5.x application software to v6.x, the
following predefined views are created:
■normal—Includes the MIB objects that the normal security level
included. The view includes all the supported MIBs except those
objects that are administrator only (snmpTargetMIB,
snmpNotificationMIB, snmpProxyMIB, snmpUsmMIB,
snmpVacmMIB, snmpCommunityMIB, genlic.mib, load. m ib, and
the promChassisSystemReset ob ject).
■admin—Includes the MIB objects that the admin security level
included. The view includes all the supported MIBs including the
administrator-only objects. The USM and VACM MIBs are not
included in the predefined admin view.
■restricted—Created for the initia l SNMPv3 user. The view includes
System Table and SNMP Table of RFC 1213 MIB, snmpEngine
Table of snmpFrameworkMIB, snmpMPDStats Table of
snmpMPDMIB, and usmStats Table of snmpUsmMIB.
■internet—Includes all MIB objects, including the USM and VACM
MIBs. The view is created for administrative SNMPv3 users and is
assigned to the predefined internet group, which provides read-
write access to the view.
User Groups
Overview
Groups associate views with specific users or community strings and
determine the access that the users or community strings have to the views.
Access to a view can be read, write, or notify . User s and community strings
are able to view, modify, and receive traps only from the o bject identifiers
(OIDs) that are included in the vi ew s associated with their group.
Group information is stored in the User-Based Secur ity Mode l (USM) MI B.
Only users that have administra to r access to the switch can use CLI
commands to modify this MIB. Users that have administrator access can,
however, give specific user groups re ad -write access to the MIB. Users or
community strings assigned to those groups can then use SNMP to view or
modify the MIB.
