Monitoring The System Using Snmp; Snmp In A Vsx Gateway - Check Point 61000 Getting Started Manual

Monitoring the System using SNMP

SNMP can be used to monitor various aspects of the 61000 Security System, including:

Software versions

Hardware status

Key performance indicators

Chassis high availability status
To monitor the system using SNMP
1. Upload the MIB to your third-party SNMP monitoring software.
The SNMP MIB is located on each SGM under: $CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt.mib
For monitoring the 61000 Security System, the only supported OIDs are under
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.asg (OID
1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.48)
2. Enable the SNMP agent on the 61000 Security System.
In gclish, run: set snmp agent on
SNMP Traps
The 61000 Security System supports SNMP traps.

The SNMP traps MIB is located on each SGM under: $CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt-trap.mib
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.chkpntTrap
(OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.2000)
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.asgTrap
(OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.2001)

SNMP in a VSX Gateway

There are two SNMP modes for a 61000 Security System that is configured as a VSX Gateway:
Default Mode - Monitor global SNMP data from the 61000 Security System. Data is accumulated
from all SGMs for all Virtual Systems.
VS Mode - Monitor each Virtual System separately.
Note - SNMP traps are supported for VS0 only.
Supported SNMP Versions
SNMP VS mode uses SNMP version 3 to query the Virtual Systems. You can run remote SNMP queries on
each Virtual System in the VSX Gateway.
For systems that only support SNMP versions 1 and 2:

You cannot run remote SNMP queries for each Virtual System. You can only run a remote SNMP query
on VS0.

You can use the CLI to change the Virtual System context and then run a local SNMP query on a Virtual
System.
