this SNMP community to monitor the FortiGate unit. You can also set

the IP address to 0.0.0.0 to so that any SNMP manager can use this

SNMP community.

uses to connect to the FortiGate unit. You only have to select the

interface if the SNMP manager is not on the same subnet as the

FortiGate unit. This can occur if the SNMP manager is on the

Internet or behind a router.

default) that the FortiGate unit uses to send SNMP v1 and SNMP
