Setting up SNMP servers using the CLI

Prev Next

To set up the SNMP servers, perform the following subtasks:

  • Add the SNMP servers

  • Configure the SNMP servers

To add an SNMP server:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable

    hostname # configure terminal

  2. Enable SNMP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp enable

  3. Specify the name of the SNMP server (for example, NX7400) for SNMP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name>

  4. Specify which servers will receive SNMP notifications (one server per command):

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> enable

  5. Specify the IP address or DNS address of the SNMP server to receive the notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> address <ip address>

  6. Save the configuration.

    hostname (config) # write memory

To configure the SNMP servers:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable

    hostname # configure terminal

  2. Enable SNMP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp enable

  3. Specify the SNMP community string

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> community <community_name>

  4. Specify the SNMP version used for notifications:

    • To use SNMP version 1, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> version 1

    • To use SNMP version 2c, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> version 2c

  5. Specify the delivery frequency for SNMP notifications:

    Note

    Trellix recommends using per-event notifications.

    • To receive a daily notification for each entity that was the source of the event, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer message delivery daily-per-source

    • To receive an hourly notification for each entity that was the source of the event, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer message delivery hourly-per-source

    • To receive a notification every minute for each entity that was the source of the event, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer message delivery per-1min-per-source

    • To receive a notification every 5 minutes for each entity that was the source of the event, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer message delivery per-5min-per-source

    • To receive information about each event, sent when the event is triggered, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer message delivery per-event

  6. Select the event type:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer notification all-events

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer notification domain-match

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer notification infection-match

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer notification ips-event

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer notification malware-callback

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer notification malware-object

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink <sink_name> prefer notification web-infection

  7. Save the configuration:

    hostname (config) # write memory
