PIX 515, MIB variable for failover

druch — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 06:19:13 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to force a failover switch between PIX-515 firewalls by using SNMP (MIB variable)? The two firewalls are configured for LAN-based failover. Beside the normal failover switching criterias, we are looking for a solution to initiate the failover switch by snmp commads, if possible.

Thank's for any replay.

Daniel

All SNMP values in the PIX Firewall are read only (RO). So no you can't - security reasons.

You can browse the System and Interface groups of MIB-II (via snmpwalks).

PIX Firewall Platform =System OID

PIX 506= .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.389

PIX 506E= .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.450

PIX 515E= .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.451

PIX 520= .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.391

PIX 525=. 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.392

PIX 535= .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.393

Hope it helps.

Steve
