Intrusion SNMP Alert Options
If your network management system requires a management information base file (MIB), you can obtain it from the Secure Firewall Management Center at /etc/sf/DCEALERT.MIB.

Description |
|---|---|
|
Trap Type |
The trap type to use for IP addresses that appear in the alerts. If your network management system correctly renders the INET_IPV4 address type, choose as Binary. Otherwise, choose as String. For example, HP OpenView requires as String. |
|
Trap Server |
The server that will receive SNMP traps notification. You can specify a single IP address or hostname. |
|
Community String |
The community name. |
SNMP v3 Options
Managed devices encode SNMPv3 alerts with an Engine ID value. To decode the alerts, your SNMP server requires this value, which is the hexadecimal version of the sending device's management interface IP address, appended with "01."
For example, if the device sending the SNMP alert has a management interface IP address of 172.16.1.50, the Engine ID value is 0xAC10013201.

|
Authentication Password |
The password required for authentication. SNMP v3 uses either the Message Digest 5 (MD5) hash function or the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) hash function to encrypt this password, depending on configuration. If you specify an authentication password, authentication is enabled. |
|
Private Password |
The SNMP key for privacy. SNMP v3 uses the Data Encryption Standard (DES) block cipher to encrypt this password. When you enter an SNMP v3 password, the password displays in plain text during initial configuration but is saved in encrypted format. If you specify a private password, privacy is enabled, and you must also specify an authentication password. |
|
User Name |
Your SNMP user name. |
