SNMP MIBs

SNMP MIBs

The Fortinet and FortiManager MIBs, along with the two RFC MIBs, can be obtained from Customer Service & Support (https://support.fortinet.com). You can download the FORTINET-FORTIMANAGER-FORTIANALYZER-MIB.mib MIB file in the firmware image file folder. The FORTINET-CORE-MIB.mib file is located in the main FortiManager 5.00 file folder.

RFC support for SNMP v3 includes Architecture for SNMP Frameworks (RFC 3411), and partial support of User-based Security Model (RFC 3414).

To be able to communicate with the SNMP agent, you must include all of these MIBs into your SNMP manager. Generally your SNMP manager will be an application on your local computer. Your SNMP manager might already include standard and private MIBs in a compiled database that is ready to use. You must add the Fortinet and FortiManager proprietary MIBs to this database.

MIB file name or RFC

Description

FORTINET-CORE-MIB.mib

The proprietary Fortinet MIB includes all system configuration information and trap information that is common to all Fortinet products.

Your SNMP manager requires this information to monitor Fortinet unit configuration settings and receive traps from the Fortinet SNMP agent.

FORTINET-FORTIMANAGER-MIB.mib

The proprietary FortiManager MIB includes system information and trap information for FortiManager units.

RFC-1213 (MIB II)

The Fortinet SNMP agent supports MIB II groups with the following exceptions.

  • No support for the EGP group from MIB II (RFC 1213, section 3.11 and 6.10).
  • Protocol statistics returned for MIB II groups (IP/ICMP/TCP/UDP/etc.) do not accurately capture all Fortinet traffic activity. More accurate information can be obtained from the information reported by the Fortinet MIB.

RFC-2665 (Ethernet-like MIB)

The Fortinet SNMP agent supports Ethernet-like MIB information with the following exception.

No support for the dot3Tests and dot3Errors groups.
