    Configuring Access Control for the VACM (SRC CLI)

    Use the view-based access control model (VACM) to restrict access to particular branches of a subtree of MIB objects by excluding or including a MIB variable. If you want to include system-related MIB values but not the system name and system contact MIB OID, then create a view by excluding the system name and system contact MIB OID. Then the system name and system contact MIB OID are not displayed.

    To configure access control for a view-based access control model (VACM):

    Note: You can also associate an SNMP view with a community by using this configuration.

    1. Define a named view.

      See Defining Named Views (SRC CLI).

    2. Map an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community name to a security name.

      See Associating Security Names with a Community (SRC CLI).

    3. Create an SNMPv3 user.

      See Creating SNMPv3 Users.

    4. Map from a group of users or communities to a view.

      See Defining Access Privileges for an SNMP Group (SRC CLI).

    5. Map a security name into a named group.

      See Assigning Security Names to Groups (SRC CLI).

    6. (Optional) Verify your configuration.
