Limiting MIB Access

Problem

You want to limit which MIB variables can be remotely accessed with SNMP.

Solution

You can use the following commands to restrict SNMP access to portions of the MIB tree. This example shows the legacy configuration method:

Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#access-list 99 permit 172.25.1.0 0.0.0.255
Router(config)#access-list 99 deny any log
Router(config)#snmp-server view ORAVIEW mib-2 included
Router(config)#snmp-server view ORAVIEW at excluded 
Router(config)#snmp-server view ORAVIEW cisco included
Router(config)#snmp-server community ORARO view ORAVIEW ro 99
Router(config)#snmp-server view RESTRICTED lsystem.55 included
Router(config)#snmp-server community ORARW view RESTRICTED rw 99
Router(config)#end
Router#

Cisco also has a new method for restricting MIB access, which uses the snmp-server group command:

Router#configure terminal 
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#snmp-server view ORAVIEW mib-2 included
Router(config)#snmp-server view ORAVIEW at excluded
Router(config)#snmp-server view ORAVIEW cisco included
Router(config)#snmp-server group TEST v1 read ORAVIEW 
Router(config)#snmp-server user ORARO TEST v1 
Router(config)#snmp-server view RESTRICTED lsystem.55 included
Router(config)#snmp-server group TEST2 v1 write RESTRICTED
Router(config)#snmp-server user ORARW TEST2 v1 
Router(config)#end 
Router#
