Setup SNMP Agent MIB Access View

Overview

This function sets up the SNMP Agent MIB View.

MIB View is used for defining the accessible area in the Management Information Base (MIB) database, with a tree type structure. Use this item when defining the accessible area in the MIB database.

Up to ten MIB Views, including the default view, can be created for each storage system. There are three types of default views: "ViewALL", "View-mib2", and "View-exmib". The default view can be changed or deleted.

Caution

  • If the "SNMP Function" is disabled, this function cannot be used.

  • The view name that is used in the settings in the [Setup SNMP Agent User] function or the [Setup SNMP Agent Community] function cannot be changed or deleted. However, note that the MIB View (Subtree) can be changed.
