Configuring SNMP System configuration

RFC support includes support for most of RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and most of

RFC 1213 (MIB II) (for more information, see FortiGate MIBs).

This section describes:

• Configuring the FortiGate unit for SNMP monitoring

• Configuring FortiGate SNMP support

• FortiGate MIBs

• FortiGate traps

• Fortinet MIB fields

Configuring the FortiGate unit for SNMP monitoring

Before a remote SNMP manager can connect to the FortiGate agent, you must

configure one or more FortiGate interfaces to accept SNMP connections. See

“Controlling administrative access to an interface” on page 143.

Configuring FortiGate SNMP support

Use the information in this section to configure the FortiGate unit so that an SNMP

manager can connect to the FortiGate SNMP agent to receive management

information and traps.

• Configuring SNMP access to an interface

• Configuring SNMP community settings

Configuring SNMP access to an interface

Before a remote SNMP manager can connect to the FortiGate agent, you must

configure one or more FortiGate interface‘s to accept SNMP connections. The

configuration steps to follow depend on whether the FortiGate unit is operating in

NAT/Route mode or Transparent mode.

To configure SNMP access to an interface in NAT/Route mode

1 Go to System > Network > Interface.

2 Choose the interface that the SNMP manager connects to and select Modify .

3 For Administrative Access select SNMP.

4 Select OK.

To configure SNMP access to an interface in Transparent mode

1 Go to System > Network > Management.

2 Choose the interface that the SNMP manager connects to and select SNMP.

Select Apply.

Configuring SNMP community settings

You can configure a single SNMP community for each FortiGate device. An SNMP

community consists of identifying information about the FortiGate unit, your SNMP get

community and trap community strings, and the IP addresses of up to three SNMP

managers that can receive traps sent by the FortiGate SNMP agent.
