Severity Levels
Table 25-2
lists the syslog message severity levels.
Note
The security appliance does not generate syslog messages with a severity level of 0 (emergency). This
level is provided in the
logging
command for compatibility with the UNIX system log feature, but is not
used by the security appliance.
Configuring SNMP
This section describes how to configure SNMP, but does not provide comprehensive information about
all SNMP MIBs and traps. For detailed MIB and event notification information, see
Appendix D,
“Mapping MIBs to CLI Commands.”
It includes the following topics:
•
SNMP Overview, page 25-20
•
Enabling SNMP, page 25-32
SNMP Overview
The FWSM provides support for network monitoring using SNMP V1 and V2c. The FWSM supports
traps and SNMP read access, but does not support SNMP write access.
You can configure the FWSM to send traps (event notifications) to a network management station
(NMS), or you can use the NMS to browse the MIBs on the FWSM. MIBs are a collection of definitions,
and the FWSM maintains a database of values for each definition. Browsing a MIB entails issuing an
SNMP get request from the NMS. Use CiscoWorks for Windows or any other SNMP V1 or V2C,
MIB-II-compliant browser to receive SNMP traps and browse a MIB.
Table 25-3
lists supported MIBs and traps for the FWSM and, in multiple mode, for each context. You
can download Cisco MIBs from the following website.
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml
After you download the MIBs, compile them for your NMS.
