MULTILINK ML1200 MANAGED FIELD SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
• SNMP user - A person for which an SNMP management operation is performed. The
user is the person on a remote SNMP engine who receives the information.
• SNMP view - A mapping between SNMP objects and the access rights available for
those objects. An object can have different access rights in each view. Access rights
indicate whether the object is accessible by either a community string or a user.
• Write view - A view name (not to exceed 64 characters) for each group that defines
the list of object identifiers (OIDs) that are able to be created or modified by users of
the group.
