SNMP Fortigate : timeout - not responding

Nco_L · ‎09-19-2019

Hello,

I would like to request information from my Fortigate via the SNMP protocol, so I configured the protocol, community etc. on the web interface, then activated the protocol on an internal interface to make it operational.

However, I have no answer from my Fortigate during the requests: Timeout,...

Thank you for your help.

If you have trusted hosts enabled at all, then you will need to add the IP of your polling/trap server as a trusted host.

I just went through this yesterday.

diag sniff packet any 'port 161' 4 0 l

If you don't see any packet hitting the Fortigate on this port than something else is blocking the access.

All you have to do to enable SNMP is what you described in your first post.

All right, I'll look to see what's blocking it.
