Configuring Log/Log Settings for SNMP
Trap messages are generated only for the alert message categories normally sent by the SonicWALL.
For example, attacks, system errors, or blocked Web sites generate trap messages.
If none of the categories are selected on the Log Settings page, then no trap messages are generated.
Configuring SNMP as a Service and Adding Rules
By default, the SonicWALL responds only to Get SNMP messages received on its LAN interface.
Appropriate rules must be configured to allow SNMP traffic to and from the WAN interface. SNMP trap
messages can be sent via the LAN or WAN. See Chapter 6, Firewall, for instructions on adding services
and rules to the SonicWALL.
If your SNMP management system supports discovery, the SonicWALL agent automatically discover the
SonicWALL appliance on the network. Otherwise, you must add the SonicWALL to the list of SNMP-
managed devices on the SNMP management system.
