Would you ever let your customers pull SNMP from you?
Short but hopefully interesting post today, I’ve been at a night course and I am pretty tired.
I found this by accident once, and it is very handy!
For example from stopping the smart technicians to snmpwalk your BGP router and go to lunch!
You can restrict access to certain MIBs with SNMP views.
This is a quick and dirty example of SNMP view usage…
snmp-server community secret ro view secretview
Clients using the community ’secret’ will now be using the secretview;
snmp-server view secret ifMIB excluded
These are just the basics of snmp views in IOS! Play around with it!
