5. Similar to configuring the SNMP community, configure the other settings to specify the trap
recipient IP, allowed query source IPs, and trap events (see
“Configuring an SNMP
community” ).
6. Click OK .
7. To verify your SNMP configuration and network connectivity between your SNMP manager
and your FortiRecorder appliance, be sure to test both traps and queries (assuming you
have enabled both). Traps and queries typically occur on different port numbers, and
therefore verifying one does not necessarily verify that the other is also functional. To test
queries, from your SNMP manager, query the FortiRecorder appliance. To test traps, cause
one of the events that should trigger a trap.

MIB support
The FortiRecorder SNMP agent supports the following management information blocks (MIBs):
You can obtain these MIB files from the Fortinet Technical Support web site,
https://support.fortinet.com/.
To communicate with your FortiRecorder appliance’s SNMP agent, you must first compile these
MIBs into your SNMP manager. If the standard MIBs used by the SNMP agent are already
compiled into your SNMP manager, you do not have to compile them again.
To view a trap or query’s name, object identifier (OID), and description, open its MIB file in a
plain text editor.
All traps sent include the message, the FortiRecorder appliance’s serial number, and host name.
For instructions on how to configure traps and queries, see “SNMP traps & queries” .

MIB or RFC Description
Fortinet Core MIB This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for
system information and to receive traps that are common to multiple
Fortinet devices.
FortiRecorder MIB This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for
FortiRecorder-specific information and to receive
FortiRecorder-specific traps.
RFC-1213 (MIB II) The FortiRecorder SNMP agent supports MIB II groups, except:
• There is no support for the EGP group from MIB II (RFC 1213,
section 3.11 and 6.10).
• Protocol statistics returned for MIB II groups (IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP,
and so on.) do not accurately capture all FortiRecorder traffic
activity. More accurate information can be obtained from the
information reported by the FortiRecorder MIB.
RFC-2665
(Ethernet-like MIB) The FortiRecorder SNMP agent supports Ethernet-like MIB information,
except the dot3Tests and dot3Errors groups.
