Configuring SNMP system information
Before you begin:
- You must have Read-Write permission for System settings.
To configure SNMP system information:
- Go to System > SNMP > System Information.
- Complete the configuration as described in the following tables.
- Save the configuration.
- Verify the SNMP configuration and network connectivity between your SNMP manager and this system.
SNMP system information settings for system event reporting
| Settings | Guidelines |
|---|---|
| SNMP Agent | Enable to activate the SNMP agent, so that the system can send traps and receive queries. |
| Description | A description or comment about the system, such as dont‑reboot. The description can be up to 35 characters long, and can contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers, hyphens ( ‑ ) and underscores ( _ ). |
| Contact | Contact information for the administrator or other person responsible for this system, such as a phone number (555-5555) or name (jdoe). The contact information can be up to 35 characters long, and can contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers, hyphens ( ‑ ), ‘at’ symbol (@) in email address and underscores ( _ ). |
| Location | Physical location of the appliance, such as floor2. The location can be up to 35 characters long, and can contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers, hyphens ( ‑ ) and underscores ( _ ). |
| Engine ID |
ID that uniquely identifies the SNMP agent.
If the Engine ID is not entered by the user, the MAC address of the management port is used to generate the Engine ID. For example, if the MAC address is: 08:5b:0e:9f:05:f0, the Engine ID will be: 8000304403085b0e9f05f0 which is the concatenation of the MAC address and Fortinet’s IANA-registered Private Enterprise Number (12356) and additional information defined in RFC3411: 8000304404.
To see the default or user-entered Engine ID, use the CLI command get snmp engine-id. The MAC address can be obtained using the CLI command get system interface mgmt1 which displays information about the management port.
Engine ID formats are defined by RFC3411. If you intend to use your own Engine ID, ensure conformance with the RFC since SNMP managers may reject non-conforming Engine IDs.
