SNMP Views

The SNMP Views feature enables you to define groups of MIBs and MIB objects that can later be allowed or denied on each Corente Services Gateway (on the SNMP tab of the Location form) or SNMP User, to limit how SNMP Managers can query or monitor the Corente Services Gateway.

To access the SNMP Views feature, open the Global Intranet Settings category of the domain directory, then open the SNMP subcategory, and then select SNMP Views.

When you select SNMP Views, all SNMP Views that have been configured in this domain will be displayed in a table to the right of the domain directory. This table displays:

  • SNMP View: the SNMP View name

  • SNMP MIB Subtrees: the SNMP MIB subtrees that are included in the view

  • In Use Locations: whether or not the SNMP View is currently in use by a Location

  • In Use SNMP Users: whether or not the SNMP View account is currently assigned to a SNMP User account

You can edit or delete any existing SNMP View. To add a new SNMP View, make sure SNMP Views is selected in the domain directory and:

  1. Select the New button in the toolbar.

  2. From the File menu, select Add SNMP View.

  3. Right-click SNMP Views in the domain directory and select Add SNMP View.

    You will be taken to a blank Add SNMP View window.

  4. SNMP View Name: Enter a name for your new view in this field. You may use up to 30 alphanumeric characters. Hyphens and underscores are allowed, but do not use tabs, spaces, or punctuation marks when creating this name.

SNMP MIB Subtrees

You can Edit or Delete any existing entries in the table. To add a new entry, click the Add button to display the Add SNMP MIB Subtree window.

Fill out the following fields:

  • Include SNMP MIB Subtree/Exclude SNMP MIB Subtree: Select one of these options to include or exclude a MIB (or MIB object) in this view.

  • SNMP MIB Subtree: Type the name of the MIB (and MIB object, if applicable) in this field that you are including or excluding in the view. If you are specifying a MIB object, use this format: MIB name::MIB object name.

When you have completed these fields, click the OK button to store your changes or the Cancel button to close the window without storing your changes.

Each SNMP View can contain multiple entries. When you have completed the definition of your new view, click the OK button to store your changes or the Cancel button to close the window without storing your changes. You must save your changes with the Save button in the App Net Manager toolbar in order for them to take effect.
