FortiGate MIBs
The FortiGate SNMP agent supports FortiGate proprietary MIBs as well as standard
RFC 1213 and RFC 2665 MIBs. The FortiGate MIBs are listed in Tab l e 1 . You can
obtain these MIB files from Fortinet technical support. To be able to communicate with
the SNMP agent, all of these MIBs must be compiled into your SNMP manager.
Your SNMP manager may already include standard and private MIBs in a compiled
database that is ready to use. You must add the Fortinet proprietary MIBs to this
database. If the standard MIBs used by the Fortinet SNMP agent are already
compiled into your SNMP manager you will not have to re-compile them.
Trap Community The trap community string functions like a password that is sent with
SNMP traps.
The default trap community string is “public”. Change the trap
community string to the one accepted by your trap receivers.
The trap community string can be up to 31 characters long and can
contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and
the special characters - and _. Spaces and the \ < > [ ] ` $ % &
characters are not allowed.
Trap Receiver IP
Addresses
Type the IP addresses of up to three trap receivers on your network that
are configured to receive traps from your FortiGate unit. Traps are only
sent to the configured addresses.
