SNMP MIB Views

One useful notion that has been overlooked for a long time is the use of SNMP MIB Views supported by the SMI Standard of the different SNMP Protocol versions. Currently and widely available Network Management packages in the market today makes no use what so ever of this very useful feature on all managed devices that supports the above mentioned industry wide standard.

A MIB View could be looked at as a window to a subset of the total MIB tree hierarchy implemented on the managed device and with own access credentials, may it be an SNMP community or even a secured SNMPv3 User. To make use of this important feature within SmartMIB; simply the administrator could create the desired view on the agent device and create a Management Zone in SmartMIB that is representative of the particular MIB View and finally add the device into this new Zone.

Effectively; the administrator can create a one-to-one logical mapping between each MIB View setup on each of the managed devices with a corresponding AMZ which is administered by a specific ZoneAdmin that runs specific processes over the particular resource/service represented by that MIB View and is being managed across a ZoneAdmin specified number of devices.
