Cisco Firewall

Introduction

The Cisco Firewall Monitoring Observability (O11y) solution aims to provide detailed insights and comprehensive visibility into firewall infrastructure, leveraging the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Getting Started

Compatibility

Cisco Firewall O11ySource supports SNMP versions v1, v2c and v3.

Data Collection Method

vuSmartMaps collects the availability data for Cisco Firewall O11ySource using an internal data collector and collects data based on the source configuration. NOTE: SNMP Polling O11ySource has to be enabled and configured before enabling Cisco Firewall O11ySource

Prerequisites

Dependent Configuration

To configure this O11ySource, create a 'credential' of type 'snmp' under the 'Definition' tab.

Inputs for Configuring Data Source

  • Group Name: This field is for grouping devices for SNMP polling, making it easier to manage devices with common characteristics or within the same network segment.
  • No. of Retries: Number of times the system should reattempt polling if the initial attempt fails. Default is set to 7 retries
  • Timeout Duration: Specify how long the system should wait for a response from a device before considering the attempt unsuccessful. Default timeout is 5 seconds
Devices
  • Device IP: Enter the IP address of the device.
  • SNMP Credential: Select the SNMP credential from the dropdown list that corresponds to this device.
  • Vendor: Select the vendor of the device from the dropdown list
  • Model: Select the model of the device from dropdown list.
MIB Groups
  • MIB Group: Select the MIB Group to poll, identifying the MIB OID to collect. Default: 'ALL_SUPPORTED_MIB_GROUPS'.
  • Interval: Specify the polling interval in seconds. Default: 360 seconds

Firewall Requirement

To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:

Source IPDestination IPDestination PortProtocolDirection
vuSmartMaps IPIP address of the SNMP device161*UDPOutbound

*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.

Configuring the Target

Configure SNMP on Cisco Firewall devices and grant SNMP access permissions to vuSmartMaps designated IP address.

Configuration Steps

  • **Enable**the Cisco Firewall O11ySource.
  • Select the Sources tab and press the + button to add a new SNMP device to be monitored.
  • Click on Save to create the instance
