3 Select snmpd from the list <strong>of</strong> server names, and then click the Control tab.<br />

Select the burb for which the SNMP agent will be enabled or disabled.<br />

The SNMP agent can only be enabled for one burb, and it cannot be<br />

enabled for the Firewall burb. Enabling the SNMP server will cause the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to send a ColdStart trap to the management station(s).<br />

4 Click the Save icon.<br />

The administrator <strong>of</strong> the SNMP management station should be made aware <strong>of</strong><br />

the following in order to retrieve information from the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> SNMP<br />

agent:<br />

• <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> host name or IP address<br />

This is needed to set up communication with the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. Note the<br />

following:<br />

– If the burb in which the SNMP agent is running contains more than one<br />

interface, specify the address <strong>of</strong> the first interface in the burb. The<br />

SNMP agent will only respond to the first interface in the burb.<br />

– If you are using High Availability (HA), specify the shared HA common<br />

IP address or host name, not the actual interface address or host name.<br />

• Community names configured in the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> SNMP agent<br />

This is needed to allow the management station to retrieve MIB objects<br />

from the SNMP agent.<br />

• MIB information<br />

This may be needed to properly translate the object identifications. Be sure<br />

to inform the administrator that the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> supports the Host<br />

Resources MIB.<br />

Important: On the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, all Secure Computing Corporation MIB files are<br />

located in the /etc/sidewinder/snmp directory. If for some reason these files cannot<br />

be accessed from the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, they can be downloaded via an FTP client or<br />

Web browser. The MIB files are scc-mib and scc-sw-mib.<br />

To retrieve the files using anonymous FTP, use an FTP client and log into<br />

ftp.securecomputing.com. The directory where the files are located is /pub/mibs.<br />

To retrieve the files using a Web browser, point the browser to<br />

ftp://ftp.securecomputing.com/pub/mibs/.
