SNMP Overview
The security appliance provides support for network monitoring using SNMP V1 and V2c. The security

You can configure the security appliance to send traps (event notifications) to a network management

any other SNMP V1, MIB-II compliant browser to receive SNMP traps and browse a MIB.
