Hi All,
We want to configure SNMP monitoring using PRTG trial version for short time later planning to go with Licensed PRTG. As I am new to this monitoring Application and SNMP in the FortiGate I have below concern
1) Can we enable the SNMP on LAN port at Production time?
2) Will FortiGate Support Trial version of PRTG?
Kindly suggest on this. Soon I need to enable monitoring our WAN links.
Thank you,
Regards,
Srini

Hi, 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) You have to convert/import the mibs from fortigate into prtg. Best,

Hi Srini It's just a warning that you are connected (gui) on this interface, to be shure not disabling http/s and break the access to your box. Enabling SNMP on any interface don't disrupt traffic (just testet in my lab with 61F) - enabled SNMP on my wan interface while pinging google... no ping lost Best,

Hi Markus,
Thank you for reply,
Once more thing can I check is it necessary both FortiGate Lan interface and PRTG Server should be in same subnet or reachability is enough?
Thank you.

Srini
Hi Srini Reachability should be ok. Best,

When I tried to enable SNMP on LAN interface it give me the warring saying the "Port is connected" is it common because I am bit worry if it affects live traffic.
