SNMP Polling for New FortiGate 40F

[jackster]

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

Hi

did you enable SNMP administrative access in the interface you're polling to (192.168.1.99)?

Yes! That did the trick... thank you so much for your help with this Abelio!
