Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

Any

You can enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) polling of an appliance using the system 
policy. The SNMP feature supports use of versions 1, 2, and 3 of the SNMP protocol.

This feature allows access to:

the standard management information base (MIB) for the appliance, which includes system details 
such as contact, administrative, location, service information, IP addressing and routing 
information, and transmission protocol usage statistics

additional MIBs for managed devices that include statistics on traffic passing through physical 
interfaces, logical interfaces, virtual interfaces, ARP, NDP, virtual bridges, and virtual routers

Note that enabling the system policy SNMP feature does not cause the appliance to send SNMP traps; it 
only makes the information in the MIBs available for polling by your network management system.

You must add SNMP access for any computer you plan to use to poll the appliance. For more 
information, see 

. Note that the SNMP MIB 

contains information that could be used to attack your appliance. Cisco recommends that you restrict 
your access list for SNMP access to the specific hosts that will be used to poll for the MIB. Cisco also 
recommends you use SNMPv3 and use strong passwords for network management access.
