community string for limited

[mohsin.khan]

hi,

I want to limit a particular community string to work ONLY for IFSTATUS mib, and nothing more than that. Please state as to how can i acheive that.

You mean just ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus? That is, only allow the polling of these two objects for all ifIndex values?

[mohsin.khan]

yes, as there are some Monitoing softwares in our network(but not in our administrative scope) so i don't want those softwares to poll any thing other than ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus...

[mohsin.khan]

just want to confirm, will this be possible using

snmp-server community xyz view ifOperStatus

and

snmp-server community xyz view ifAdminStatus

You can create a view:

snmp-server view ifstatusOnly iso excluded

snmp-server view ifstatusOnly ifAdminStatus.* included

snmp-server view ifstatusOnly ifOperStatus.* included

snmp-server community mycommunity view ifstatusOnly RO
