Discovery of Firewall

[nikhilagr20]

Hi,

I have some Firewalls in our environment. I tried to discover them. These devices are discovered as IP Router. Is there any way to discover them as Firewall ?

Easiest way I've found is to find what value is in the 'sysdescr' portion of the SNMP query and use that to trigger the Firewall classifier and whatever probes you select. Doug has a how-to video on it here:

You may have to create an additional SNMP OID in the system to get it to launch properly though.

To add to that you would want to absolutely add the SNMP System OID that calls the classifier Peyton references above. We are calling it a "router" because it told us it has routing capabilities.

*geeks can look at the Shazzam Sensor to see what we look for in a routing capability*

By adding the SNMP System OID we will basically "ignore" its capability and do what you tell it to do...

This will guide you for sure!

Doug,

Is there an updated version of the http://tinyurl.com/l42bf83 link you'd provided? It seems that link is dead, and I'm having this same thing happen in our environment.

Thanks,

Will P.

Will, my best guess is that I was probably referencing the videos I did here..Well the first one..
