Monitor the Firewall Integrate the Firewall into Your Management Network

You can also use SNMP to monitor the firewall. In this case, your SNMP manager must be

configured to get statistics from the firewall rather than (or in addition to) having the firewall send

traps to the manager. For more information, see Monitor the Firewall Using SNMP.

Set Up SNMP Trap Destinations

Step 1 (SNMP v3 only) Get the engine ID for

the firewall.

Note In many cases, the MIB browser or

SNMP manager will automatically

discover the engine ID upon successful

connection to the SNMP agent on the

firewall. You can usually find this

information in the agent settings section

of the interface. Refer to the

documentation for your specific product

for instructions on finding the agent

information.

In order to find out the firewall’s engine ID, you must configure the

firewall for SNMP v3 and send a GET message from your SNMP

manager or MIB browser as follows:

1. Enable the interface to allow inbound SNMP requests:

• If you will be receiving SNMP GET messages on the MGT

interface, select

Device > Setup > Management and click the

Edit icon in the Management Interface Settings section of

the screen. In the

Services section, select the SNMP check

box and then click

OK.

• If you will be receiving SNMP GET messages on a different

interface, you must associate a management profile with the

interface and enable SNMP management.

2. Configure the firewall for SNMP v3 as described in Step 2 in Set

Up SNMP Monitoring. If you do not configure the firewall for

SNMP v3 your MIB browser will not allow you to GET the

engine ID.

3. Connect your MIB browser or SNMP manager to the firewall

and run a GET for OID 1.3.6.1.6.3.10.2.1.1.0. The value that is

returned is the unique engine ID for the firewall.
