Downloading SNMP MIBs

FortiADC allows you to download full FortiADC and Fortinet Core MIB (Management Information Base) files, which provides more options for server load balance, global server load balance, link load balance, and firewall with SNMP traps.

FortiADC 7.4.3 introduces the new SNMP MIB ifXTable with 64-bit counters to allow users to query 10 G statistics.
To download an SNMP MIB file:
  1. Go to System > SNMP.
    The configuration page displays the System Information tab.
  2. In the FortiADC SNMP MIB section, initiate the file download by clicking the Download FortiADC MIB File or Download Fortinet Core MIB File.
  3. Follow the instructions onscreen to complete the download.

FortiADC MIBs

The following lists the MIBs used with FortiADC.

MIB or RFC Description
Fortinet Core MIB This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for system information and to receive traps that are common to multiple Fortinet devices.
FortiADC MIB This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for FortiADC-specific information and to receive FortiADC-specific traps.
RFC 1213 (MIB II) The FortiADC SNMP agent supports MIB II groups, except: There is 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, and so on) do not accurately capture all FortiADC traffic activity. More accurate information can be obtained from the information reported by the FortiADC MIB.
RFC 3635 (Ethernet-like MIB) The FortiADC SNMP agent uses any of the objects in the Ethernet-like interface types specification (dot3StatsIndex).
