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.
