SNMP

SNMP reporting is available with the reporting feature only. It provides read only access to system and interface variables.

Before you can access the FireBrick using SNMP you must set the community name in the setup/name section. This would normally be set to public. The default is blank which means no SNMP requests are handled. You must also ensure you allow SNMP traffic to the FireBrick via the filters.

The SNMP OIDs handled are :-
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::zeroDotZero
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER:
IF-MIB::ifNumber = INTEGER: 406
IF-MIB::ifIndex.* = INTEGER:
IF-MIB::ifDescr.* = STRING:
IF-MIB::ifType.* = INTEGER:
IF-MIB::ifMtu.* = INTEGER: 1500
IF-MIB::ifSpeed.* = Gauge32:
IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress.* = STRING:
IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus.* = INTEGER:
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.* = INTEGER:
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifInUcastPkts.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifInErrors.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifOutUcastPkts.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifOutDiscards.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifOutErrors.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifName.* = STRING:
IF-MIB::ifInMulticastPkts.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifInBroadcastPkts.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifOutMulticastPkts.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifOutBroadcastPkts.* = Counter32:
IF-MIB::ifAlias.* = STRING:

Interface numbers apply as follows. These apply even when the FireBrick does not have the relevant features installed.
1-5
Five physical ports
6
The core interface
101-200
Filters. Note that stats are the same for in and out as filter stats are only recorded for total traffic
201-250
Speed lanes to/from the 1st logical interface (normally WAN)
301-350
Speed lanes to/from the 2nd logical interface (normally LAN)
401-450
Speed lanes to/from the 3rd logical interface
501-550
Speed lanes to/from the 4th logical interface
601-650
Speed lanes to/from the 5th logical interface
701-750
Speed lanes to/from the tunnel interface

Note that some counters only apply to interfaces 1-6, such as In/Out Multicast/Broadcast/Unicast/Discards/Errors.

cfgmaker and mrtg

When using cfgmaker, we suggest using --ifdesc=alias as this works well to show the textual name of the interface and have sensible file names. Note there are several versions of cfgmaker, and not all will collect the ifAlias without alteration.
