Fortinet MIBs
The FortiGate SNMP agent supports Fortinet 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 MIB is listed in Table 8 along with the two RFC MIBs. 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 MIB
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.

Description
The proprietary Fortinet MIB includes detailed FortiGate system
configuration information and trap information. Your SNMP
manager requires this information to monitor FortiGate
configuration settings and receive traps from the FortiGate
SNMP agent. See “FortiGate traps” on page 147 and “Fortinet
MIB fields” on page 149.
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.
The FortiGate SNMP agent supports Ethernet-like MIB
information with the following exception.
No support for the dot3Tests and dot3Errors groups.
