Working with SNMP

You can use SNMP to monitor different aspects of the Security Group A logical group of Security Gateway Modules that provides Active/Active cluster functionality. A Security Group can contain one or more Security Gateway Modules. Security Groups work separately and independently from each other. To the production networks, a Security Group appears a single Security Gateway., including:

Software versions
Hardware status
Key performance indicators
High Availability status

Enabling SNMP Monitoring of Security Groups

Step

Instructions

Upload these Check Point MIB files from the Chassis to your third-party SNMP monitoring software:

The SNMP MIB file:

$CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt.mib
The SNMP Trap MIB file:

$CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt-trap.mib

Connect to the command line on the Security Group.

Log in to Gaia Clish The name of the default command line shell in Check Point Gaia operating system. This is a restricted shell (role-based administration controls the number of commands available in the shell)..

Go to Gaia gClish The name of the global command line shell in Check Point Gaia operating system for Security Gateway Modules. Commands you run in this shell apply to all Security Gateway Module in the Security Group.: enter gclish and press Enter.

Enable the Gaia Check Point security operating system that combines the strengths of both SecurePlatform and IPSO operating systems. SNMP Agent:

set snmp agent on

save config

Supported SNMP OIDs for Security Groups

Only this branches is supported:

Branch	OID
`asg`	Numerical	`1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.48`
`asg`	Full Text	`.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.asg`

Supported SNMP Trap OIDs for Security Groups

Only this SNMP Trap is supported:

Branch	OID
`asgTrap`	Numerical	`1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.2001`
`asgTrap`	Full Text	`.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.asgTrap`

Notes:

The /etc/snmp/GaiaTrapsMIB.mib file is not supported.
The "set snmp traps" command is not supported.

You must use the "asg alert" configuration wizard for this purpose.

See Configuring Alerts for SGM and Security Group Events (asg alert).
