You can create up to 10 views on the device. This number cannot be changed.

To create an SNMP view, enter one of the following commands:

BigIron RX(config)# snmp-server view Maynes system included

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

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

BigIron RX(config)# write mem

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.

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.

You can exclude portions of the MIB within an inclusion scope. For example, if you want to exclude

the snAgentSys objects, which begin with 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2 object identifier from the admin

view, enter a second command such as the following.

Note that the exclusion is within the scope of the inclusion.

To delete a view, use the no parameter before the command.
