Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Views Configuration on the 300 Series Managed Switches

Objective

A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) view is a set of rules that controls what the user of the switch can or cannot manage. An SNMP view is defined by MIB (Management Information Base) sub-trees. Each MIB is defined by a set of Object IDs (OIDs). These OIDs are sub-tree identifiers, which can represent information, a rule, or a feature on the switch. You can create an SNMP view on the 300 Series Managed Switches to limit access to certain management information and configuration features. This article explains how to configure a SNMP view on the 300 Series Managed Switches.
