Hi

You enable only from management VDOM.

System > SNMP.

Greetings,

 

Please make sure about the following things when you configure SNMP in a multi-vdom environment.

 

1) Make sure that the interface where the polling is set belongs to the management VDOM and allows SNMP processing:

 

config global

config system interface

  edit <SNMP_interface>

    append allowaccess snmp

      set vdom <management_VDOM>

end

 

2) Make sure that the correct VDOM is selected as management VDOM:

 

config global

config system global

  set management-vdom <management_VDOM>

end 

 

3) If trusted hosts are configured in Fortigate, make sure that the user belongs to the management_VDOM

 

config system admin

  edit "test_user"

    set trusthost1 80.80.80.0 255.255.255.0 <----- Ip from SNMPmanager.

    set accprofile "super_admin_readonly"

    set vdom "root" <---- select the management VDOM

  next

end

 

4) Make sure about the routing. Management vdom should be able to reach the SNMP Manager.

 

Regards!
