Views
A MIB view is a family of view subtrees, which is a pairing of an OID subtree
value together with a bit string mask value Each MIB view is defined by two
sets of view subtrees, included in or excluded from the MIB view You can create
MIB views to control the OID range that SNMP users can access
Note that the access point supports a maximum of 16 views
The following notes summarize some critical guidelines regarding SNMP View
configuration Please read all the notes before proceeding with SNMP View
configuration
NOTE:
A MIB view called all is created by default in the system This view
contains all management objects supported by the system
NOTE:
By default, view-all and view-none SNMP views are created on the AP
These views cannot be deleted but OID, Masks and Type fields can be
modified

Table 51: SNMP Views
Field Description
View Name Enter a name to identify the MIB view
View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters
Type Specifies whether to include or exclude the view subtree or
family of subtrees from the MIB view
OID Enter an OID string for the subtree to include or exclude
from the view
For example, the system subtree is specified by the OID
string 1 3 6 1 2 1 1
Mask The OID mask is 47 characters in length The format of the OID
mask is xx xx xx ( ) or xx:xx:xx (:) and is 16 octets in length
Each octet is 2 hexadecimal characters separated by either
a period or a colon Only hex characters are accepted in this
field For example, OID mask FA 80 is 11111010 10000000
A family mask is used to define a family of view subtrees The
family mask indicates which sub-identifiers of the associated
family OID string are significant to the family's definition
A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in
a table, in a more efficient manner
