Section IV: SNMPv3

The SNMPv3 protocol allows you to configure MIB views for users and 
groups. The MIB tree is defined by RFC 1155 (Structure of Management 
Information). See Figure 18.

Figure 18. MIB Tree

The AT-S63 software supports the MIB tree, starting with the Internet 
MIBs, as defined by 1.3.6.1. There are two ways to specify a MIB view. 
You can enter the OID number of the MIB view or its equivalent text name. 
For example, to specify MIBs in the Internet view, you can enter the OID 
format “1.3.6.1” or the text name “internet.”

In addition, you can define a MIB view that the user can access or a MIB 
view that the user cannot access. When you want to permit a user to 
access a MIB view, you include a particular view. When you want to deny 
a user access to a MIB view, you exclude a particular view.
