View List - EnGenius EWS Series User Manual

View List

SNMP uses an extensible design, where the available information is defined by Management Information
Bases (MIBs). MIBs describe the structure of the management data of a device subsystem; they use a
hierarchical namespace containing Object Identifiers (OID) to organize themselves. Each OID identifies a
variable that can be read or set via SNMP. The SNMP View List is created for the SNMP management
station to manage MIB objects.
Click the Add button to create a new entry.
View Name Enter the view name. The view name can contain up to 30 alphanumeric
characters.
Subtree OID Enter the Object Identifier (OID) Subtree. The OID identifies an object tree (MIB
tree) that will be included or excluded from access by an SNMP manager. Note
that the first character must be a period (.). Wild cards can be used to mask a
specific portion of the OID string using a period (.).
Subtree Mask Select 0 or 1 for Subtree mask. The mask of the Subtree OID 1 means this object
number "is concerned", and 0 means "do not concern".
View Type Select whether the defined OID branch within MIB tree will be Included or
Excluded from the selected SNMP view. Generally, if the view type of an entry is
Excluded, another entry of view type Included should exist and its OID subtree
should overlap the Excluded view entry.
