Figure 113: Configuring SNMP
Configuring an SNMP community
An SNMP community is a grouping of devices for network administration purposes. Within
that SNMP community, devices can communicate by sending and receiving traps and
other information. One device can belong to multiple communities, such as one
administrator terminal monitoring both a firewall SNMP community and a printer SNMP
community.
Add SNMP communities to your FortiGate unit so that SNMP managers can connect to
view system information and receive SNMP traps.
You can add up to three SNMP communities. Each community can have a different
configuration for SNMP queries and traps. Each community can be configured to monitor
the FortiGate unit for a different set of events. You can also add the IP addresses of up to
8 SNMP managers to each community.
