To setup SNMP management, perform the following steps:

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent for your Juniper Firewall provides network administrators with a way to view statistical data about the network and the devices on it. It also provides notification of system events of interest.

Open the
WebUI. For more information on accessing the WebUI, go to
Accessing Your NetScreen Using the WebUI.

From the ScreenOS options menu, click
Configuration, select
Report Settings, and then click
SNMP.

From the
System Contact text box, enter a system contact name.


From the
Location text box, enter a location.

Click
Apply.

Click
New Community.


In the
Community Name text box, enter a community name.

For example, enter
snmpcommunity1.

From the
Permissions list, click to choose the community permissions.
- The Write permission allows this community to have read-write access to the Management Information Base II data.
- The Trap permission allows this community to receive SNMP traps.
- Including Traffic Alarms allows the community to receive SNMP traps generated when traffic exceeds the alarm thresholds set in policies.

For example, chose
Write,
Trap, and
Including Traffic Alarms.

In the
Hosts IP Address/Netmask text boxes, enter the IP Address and Netmask of your SNMP host(s).

You can enter up to eight SNMP hosts per community.

For example, you can enter two hosts,
192.168.1.20/
24 and
192.168.1.30/
24.

Click
OK.

Once SNMP management has setup on your firewall, you can configure an interface for SNMP management. For more information on configuring an interface for SNMP management, go to
Configuring an Interface for SNMP Management.
