Joe,

     The "view" part is in the snmpd configuration file /etc/snmpd.conf (on
AIX). While
     there are some overview type introduction of "view" in RFCs, man pages
and
     SNMP related books, I found them too brief in content. And in NetView
manuals,
     redbooks, I can't find any description on how to configure this entry
and what
     does something like "1.17.2" refer to.

     Thanks.

     Geoffrey

Geoffrey,
Can you supply more details of where you are getting this?

Are you using NetView 5.1,
menu item Options --> SNMP Configuration?
