Configuring SNMP on user-defined virtual routers

In addition to supporting SNMP on the management interface and Global virtual router data interfaces, Secure Firewall Threat Defense now allows you to configure SNMP host on user-defined virtual routers.

Summary

The key components involved in configuring SNMP on user-defined virtual routers are:

  • Device interfaces: Physical or logical interfaces that need to be configured and enabled

  • Virtual router: User-defined virtual router configured on specific interfaces

  • SNMP hosts: Network management stations that receive SNMP polling and traps

  • Secure Firewall Threat Defense: The target device where configurations are deployed

Workflow

The SNMP configuration on user-defined virtual routers involves these stages:

  1. Configure device interfaces.
  2. Configure virtual router on an interface.
  3. Configure SNMP hosts on a virtual router interface.
    Note

    SNMP is not virtual router-aware. Hence, while configuring SNMP server on the user-defined virtual router, ensure that the network address is not an overlapping IP address.

  4. Deploy configurations to Secure Firewall Threat Defense. On successful deployment, the SNMP polling and traps are sent to the Network Management Station through the virtual router interface.
