FortiGate traps

The FortiGate agent can send traps to SNMP managers that you have added to SNMP communities. For SNMP managers to receive traps, you must load and compile the Fortinet trap MIB (file name fortinet.trap.2.80.mib) onto the SNMP manager.

All traps include the trap message as well as the FortiGate unit serial number.
