Enabling the Edge for SNMP Polling

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of tools for monitoring and managing networks.
SNMP uses management information bases (MIBs) that give configuration information for the devices
the SNMP server manages or monitors.
You can configure the Firebox to accept SNMP polls from an SNMP server. The Firebox reports informa-
tion to the SNMP server such as the traffic count from each interface, device uptime, the number of TCP
packets received and sent, and when each Edge interface was last modified.
The Firebox X Edge supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 .
To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
1
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
From the navigation bar, select Administration > SNMP.

The Simple Network Management Protocol page appears.
The Contact E-mail and Location information is given to the SNMP server when it polls the
3
Edge. Type information in these fields that you want the SNMP server administrator to see if they
detect a problem with the Edge.
Click the Enable SNMP v2c check box if the SNMP server uses SNMP v2c. You must type the
4
Community String the SNMP server uses when it contacts the Edge. The community string is
like a user ID or password that allows access to the statistics of a device. This community string
must be included with all SNMP requests.
