SNMP
Optional Services
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is often used in managing TCP/IP networks by providing system
information and sending event notifications to a SNMP manager. A SNMP manager is typically a host running the
SNMP manager application. The SNMP manager communicates with the SNMP agent running on a FortiWAN unit;
sends out SNMP requests and receives incoming event notification (SNMP trap) from the SNMP agent. The agent
responds FortiWAN's system information for SNMP requests and sends SNMP traps to the SNMP manager.
To monitor your FortiWAN system via SNMP, you must:
l
Compile the FortiWAN MIB file to your SNMP manager.
l
Make sure at least one network interface is well-configured to send out SNMP traps and receive SNMP requests.
The SNMP manager can communicate with a FortiWAN unit via the IP addresses configured on the localhost of a
WAN port, DMZ port or LAN port (See "
").
l
Make sure SNMP is acceptable to FortiWAN's firewall (See "
").
l
Configure SNMP settings and Event Notification to FortiWAN unit.
