Appendix A: Management Information Base (MIB)

Table 86: Supported MIBs
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.
FortiDDoS MIB	This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for FortiDDoS-specific information and to receive FortiDDoS-specific traps.
RFC 1213 (MIB II)	The FortiDDoS 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 FortiDDoS traffic activity. More accurate information can be obtained from the information reported by the FortiDDoS MIB.
RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB)	The FortiDDoS SNMP agent supports “Ethernet-like MIB information,” except the dot3Tests and dot3Errors groups.
RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB)
RFC 2863 (IF-MIB)	FortiDDoS SNMP uses the linkDown and linkUP traps from IF-MIB, RFC 2863, section 6.
RFC 3411	“An Architecture for Describing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Frameworks”
RFC 3414	Partial support for “User-based Security Model (USM).”

To communicate with the FortiDDoS SNMP agent, you must first compile these MIBs into your SNMP manager. If the standard MIBs used by the SNMP agent are already compiled into your SNMP manager, you do not have to compile them again. The FortiDDoS SNMP implementation is read-only.
