Failed to configure SNMP on via Flexconfigure

[yuanqiao58820]

We have tried to configure SNMP via Flexconfig, but not able to deploy script.

shows:

The template is not valid.

Block list CLI error: snm-server host vdc x.x.x.x community xxx version 2c, snmp-server community xxx

The FTD version is 7.4.2.

It seems there is no SNMP configue guide available for this version. Can we configure it based on https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/firepower-ngfw/216551-configure-and-troubleshoot-snmp-on-firep.html?

SNMP configurations are prohibited and cannot be deployed via FlexConfig: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/secure-firewall/management-center/device-config/740/management-center-device-config-74/flex-config.html

Instead, you can define your SNMP configurations via the Platform Settings: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/secure-firewall/management-center/device-config/740/management-center-device-config-74/interfaces-settings-platform.html#task_C98446BB601C4930974E7E287B1784C0

If you are using FDM (Firepower Device Manager) then the RestAPI link that you referenced would be applicable. 

Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Thanks for this information.

The solution below is configure via FMC，which is not deployed. These FTD are managed by FDM now.

I have found a link with SNMP configure via rest API on FDM 6.7, just not sure whether it is suitable for FDM 7.4.2.

@yuanqiao58820 for FDM-managed devices, the API method remains the only method, even with the just-released version 7.7.
