SNMPv3 Access View Management

To support view-based access control for SNMPv3, LSMS provides the SNMP Configuration > SNMPv3 View Configuration > Add/Delete/Edit/Show menu options. These menu options are accessible only when the SNMP Global Mode is set to SNMPv3 ONLY or Both. Following is an example of the Add menu.

Add SNMPv3 View Screen

The SNMP Configuration > SNMPv3 View Configuration submenus include fields for the View Name and the OID of the associated LSMS MIB object.

View names must be unique, 1 - 32 alphanumeric characters in length, and are case sensitive. The OID associated with a view is mandatory.

The resyncVar object with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.323.5.3.4.1.1.45 is the only object available in the LSMS MIB for read/write operations by a NMS. By default, LSMS provides a view named resyncVarView that is sufficient for controlling read/write access to the resyncVar object. The resyncVarView cannot be modified or deleted. Use of another OID for view configuration is not restricted.

A view that is associated to any group cannot be deleted. For information about groups, see SNMPv3 Group Management.
