FortiGate MIBs
The FortiGate SNMP agent supports FortiGate proprietary MIBs as well as standard
RFC 1213 and RFC 2665 MIBs. RFC support includes support for the parts of RFC
2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and the parts of RFC 1213 (MIB II) that apply to FortiGate
unit configuration.
The FortiGate MIBs are listed in
Table 6
. You can obtain these MIB files from Fortinet
technical support. To be able to communicate with the SNMP agent, you must compile
all of these MIBs into your SNMP manager.
Your SNMP manager might already include standard and private MIBs in a compiled
database that is ready to use. You must add the Fortinet proprietary MIBs to this
database. If the standard MIBs used by the Fortinet SNMP agent are already
compiled into your SNMP manager you do not have to compile them again.
Table 6: FortiGate MIBs
MIB file name or RFC Description
fortinet.2.80.mib

information about FortiGate MIB fields, see
.
fortinet.trap.2.80.mib The Fortinet trap MIB is a proprietary MIB that is required for your
SNMP manager to receive traps from the FortiGate SNMP agent. For
more information about FortiGate traps, see
.
RFC-1213 (MIB II)
The FortiGate 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 FortiGate traffic activity. More accurate
information can be obtained from the information reported by the
Fortinet MIB.
RFC-2665 (Ethernet-
like MIB)
The FortiGate SNMP agent supports Ethernet-like MIB information
with the following exception.
No support for the dot3Tests and dot3Errors groups.
