SNMP Overview
The security appliance provides support for network monitoring using SNMP V1 and V2c. The security
appliance supports traps and SNMP read access, but does not support SNMP write access.
You can configure the security appliance to send traps (event notifications) to a network management
station (NMS), or you can use the NMS to browse the MIBs on the security appliance. MIBs are a
collection of definitions, and the security appliance maintains a database of values for each definition.
Browsing a MIB entails issuing an SNMP get request from the NMS. Use CiscoWorks for Windows or
any other SNMP V1, MIB-II compliant browser to receive SNMP traps and browse a MIB.
