Creating an SNMP Trap Reaction

  1. Select Add > SNMP Trap.

  2. Give the automatic reaction a significant name.

  3. Fill out the SNMP Trap parameters of Host, Message, OID and Community name.

    The command send_snmp uses values that are found in the file chkpnnt.mib, in the directory $CPDIR/lib/snmp/. An OID value used in the SNMP Trap parameters window must be defined in chkpnnt.mib, or in a file that refers it. If the OID field is left blank, the value is determined from iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.checkpoint.products.fw.fwEvent = 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.11.

    When the automatic reaction occurs, the SNMP Trap is sent as a 256 byte DisplayString text. But, if the OID type is not text, the message is not sent.

  4. Select Save.
