Configuring SNMP Settings

Prev Next

Use the CLI commands in this topic to set up the default configuration for SNMP notifications.

To configure SNMP settings:
  1. Enable the CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Enable SNMP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp enable
  3. Specify that a notification is sent by default each time a malware object is detected:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp default delivery per-event
  4. Specify the SNMP version used for notifications:

    • To use SNMP version 1, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp default version 1
    • To use SNMP version 2c, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp default version 2c
  5. If you are going to download the MIB file, see the procedure for Microsoft Windows, Linux, or Apple devices. The MIB file is retrieved using a program that connects using port 22, which is normally used for tools like SSH, SCP, and PSCP. Because file-level access is denied by policy, the direct path to the MIB file needs to be specified.

  6. Save the configuration:

    hostname (config) # write memory
