PIX 515, MIB variable for failover

[druch]

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.

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.
