•If AES is the privacy protocol to be used, enter aes followed by the AES password key. For a small password key, enter 12 characters. For a big password key, enter 16 characters. If you include the encrypted keyword, enter a password string containing 32 hexadecimal characters.

Defining SNMP views

SNMP views are named groups of MIB objects that can be associated with user accounts to allow limited access for viewing and modification of SNMP statistics and system configuration. SNMP views can also be used with other commands that take SNMP views as an argument. SNMP views reference MIB objects using object names, numbers, wildcards, or a combination of the three. The numbers represent the hierarchical location of the object in the MIB tree. You can reference individual objects in the MIB tree or a subset of objects from the MIB tree.

To configure the number of SNMP views available on the Brocade device, enter the following command.

Brocade(config)#system-max view 15

Syntax: system-max view <number-of-views>

This command specifies the maximum number of SNMPv2 and v3 views that can be configured on a device. The number of views can be from 10 – 65536. The default is 10 views.

To add an SNMP view, enter one of the following commands.

Brocade(config)#snmp-server view Maynes system included

Brocade(config)#snmp-server view Maynes system.2 excluded

Brocade(config)#snmp-server view Maynes 2.3.*.6 included

Brocade(config)#write mem

NOTE

The snmp-server view command supports the MIB objects as defined in RFC 1445.

Syntax: [no] snmp-server view <name> <mib_tree> included excluded

The <name> parameter can be any alphanumeric name you choose to identify the view. The names cannot contain spaces.

The <mib_tree> parameter is the name of the MIB object or family. MIB objects and MIB sub-trees can be identified by a name or by the numbers called Object Identifiers (OIDs) that represent the position of the object or sub-tree in the MIB hierarchy. You can use a wildcard (*) in the numbers to specify a sub-tree family.

The included excluded parameter specifies whether the MIB objects identified by the <mib_family> parameter are included in the view or excluded from the view.

NOTE

All MIB objects are automatically excluded from any view unless they are explicitly included; therefore, when creating views using the snmp-server view command, indicate which portion of the MIB you want users to access.

For example, you may want to assign the view called “admin” a community string or user group. The “admin” view will allow access to the Brocade MIBs objects that begin with the 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991 object identifier. Enter the following command.
