IMPORTANT:

An NMS and an SNMP agent must use the same SNMP version to communicate with each other.

MIB and view-based MIB access control

A MIB view represents a set of MIB objects (or MIB object hierarchies) with certain access privilege and
is identified by a view name. The MIB objects included in the MIB view are accessible while those

excluded from the MIB view are inaccessible.
A MIB view can have multiple view records each identified by a view-name oid-tree pair.
You can control access to the MIB by assigning MIB views to SNMP groups or communities. The
relationship between an NMS, agent and MIB is shown in

Figure 35

.

Figure 35 Relationship between an NMS, agent and MIB

A MIB stores variables called “nodes” or “objects” in a tree hierarchy and identifies each node with a

unique OID. An OID is a string of numbers that describes the path from the root node to a leaf node. For

example, the object B in

Figure 36

is uniquely identified by the OID {1.2.1.1}.
