A family mask is used to define a family of view subtrees. The family mask
indicates which subidentifiers of the associated family OID string are
significant to the family's definition. A family of view subtrees enables
efficient control access to one row in a table.
STEP 4 Click Save. The view is added to the SNMPv3 Views list and your changes are
saved to the Startup Configuration.
NOTE To remove a view, select the view in the list and click Delete.
Groups
SNMPv3 groups allow you to combine users into groups of different authorization
and access privileges. Each group is associated with one of three security levels:
•noAuthNoPriv
•authNoPriv
•authPriv
Access to Management Information Bases (MIBs) for each group is controlled by
associating a MIB view to a group for read or write access, separately.
By default, the WAP device has two groups:
•RO—A read-only group using authentication and data encryption. Users in
this group use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/
password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be
defined. By default, users of this group have read access to the default all
MIB view.
•RW—A read/write group using authentication and data encryption. Users in
this group use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/
password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be
defined. By default, users of this group have read and write access to the
default all MIB view.
NOTE The default groups RO and RW cannot be deleted.
NOTE The WAP device supports a maximum of eight groups.
