SNMP Polling for New FortiGate 40F

Hi guys,

I just bought a new FortiGate 40F which is up and running but I'm trying to configure SNMP polling so that I can perform the "snmpwalk" command from my MAC.

I created the SNMP Agent as v1/v2c and set the community as public for now.

I allowed my /24 network to be "Accept queries only", everything is enabled.

When I try to poll from my MAC computer on the /24 using this command:

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.99

I get "no response from 192.168.1.99".

I started a packet capture and see the SNMP packet come into the FortiGate but no packets return so it's obvious that I have something misconfigured.

The configuration for the GUI seems very straightforward and everything looks correct, I'm wondering if I have to download FortiGate MIBS and install them before I can execute and snmpwalk from a remote computer?

Thanks
