System Settings : Advanced : SNMP v1/v2c : Configuring an SNMP community
 
Configuring an SNMP community
An SNMP community is a grouping of equipment for network administration purposes. Add SNMP communities so that the FortiManager system (the SNMP agent in this case) can connect to the SNMP manager that is monitoring.
 
These SNMP communities do not refer to the FortiGate devices the FortiManager system is managing. For more information on FortiGate device SNMP, see either “RTM Profiles”, or the FortiGate Administration Guide.
Each community can have a different configuration for SNMP traps and can be configured to monitor different events. You can add the IP addresses of up to eight hosts to each community. Hosts can receive SNMP device traps and information.
Select Create New on the SNMP v1/v2c screen to open the New SNMP Community dialog box, where you can configure a new SNMP community. See Table 72.
When you create a new SNMP community, there are no host entries. Selecting Add creates an entry that broadcasts the SNMP traps and information to the network connected to the specified interface.
Figure 72: FortiManager SNMP Community
Community Name
Enter a name to identify the SNMP community. If you are editing an existing community, you will be unable to change the name.
Hosts
The list of FortiManager that can use the settings in this SNMP community to monitor the FortiManager system. Select Add to create a new entry that you can edit.
 
IP Address
Enter the IP address of an SNMP manager. By default, the IP address is 0.0.0.0 so that any SNMP manager can use this SNMP community.
 
Interface
Select the name of the interface that connects to the network where this SNMP manager is located from the drop-down list. You need to do this if the SNMP manager is on the Internet or behind a router.
 
Delete icon
Select to remove this SNMP manager entry.
 
Add
Select to add a new default entry to the Hosts list that you can edit as needed. You can have up to eight SNMP manager entries for a single community.
Queries
Enter the port numbers (161 by default) that the FortiManager system uses to send SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c queries to the FortiManager in this community. Enable queries for each SNMP version that the FortiManager system uses.
Traps
Enter the Remote port numbers (162 by default) that the FortiManager system uses to send SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c traps to the FortiManager in this community. Enable traps for each SNMP version that the FortiManager system uses.
SNMP Event
Enable the events that will cause the FortiManager unit to send SNMP traps to the community. These events include:
• Interface IP changed
• Log disk space low
• HA Failover
• System Restart
• CPU Overusage
• Memory Low
