Introduction

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks.

Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks and more. SNMP is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.

SNMP is a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.

 

SNMP itself does not define which information (which variables) a managed system should offer. Rather, SNMP uses an extensible design, where the available information is defined by Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs describe the structure of the management data of a device subsystem; they use a hierarchical namespace containing object identifiers (OID). Each OID identifies a variable that can be read or set via SNMP. MIBs use the notation defined by Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2, RFC 2578), a subset of ASN.1.

 

Check Point provides a set of MIB files that contain definitions of all SNMP counters supported by Check Point software.

These MIB files can be found on the Security Gateway / Security Management Server / Multi-Domain Security Management Server in the following directories:

MIB file	Location on Gaia / SecurePlatform / IPSO OS	Location on Gaia Embedded	Location on Windows OS
Check Point Products OIDs	$CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt.mib	$CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt.mib	%CPDIR%\lib\snmp\chkpnt.mib
Check Point Traps OIDs	$CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt-trap.mib	$CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt-trap.mib	%CPDIR%\lib\snmp\chkpnt-trap.mib
Gaia OS Traps OIDs	/etc/snmp/GaiaTrapsMIB.mib	---	---

Notes:

1. The 60000 / 40000 Appliances support SNMP OIDs only under:
   iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.asg (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.48).

2. The 61000 Appliance running R75.40VS for 61000 supports only these SNMP traps:
   iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.chkpntTrap (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.2000)
   iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.asgTrap (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.2001).

3. The 60000 / 40000 Appliances running R76SP / R76SP.X support only this SNMP trap:
   iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.checkpoint.products.asgTrap (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.2001).
