SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of protocols used in managing network devices, such as bridges, routers, and hubs over a TCP/IP network.
In the SNMP management architecture, one or more computers on the network act as a network management station (NMS) and poll the managed devices to gather information about their performance and status. Each managed device has a software module, known as an agent, which communicates with the NMS.
Managed devices can protect their Management Information Base (MIBs) by granting only specific network management stations access. One way of doing this is through authentication. Managed devices can require that all NMSs belong to a community, the name of which acts as a password that the managed devices use to authenticate management stations attempting to gain access. Additionally, the settings for a community can include access privileges, such as READ-ONLY and READ-WRITE, that are granted to NMSs.
Supported SNMP Agent specifications and Supported SNMP Traps specifications enumerate the supported Threat Mitigator SNMP specifications:
Specifications |
Community-based SNMPv2 (SNMPv2c) |
Access privileges |
READ ONLY (the GET command) |
Management Information Base (MIB) |
MIB II, with the following standard objects:
|
Accepted community names |
Community names with the following characteristics:
|
Trusted Network Management Stations (NMS) |
Allows up to 255 specific network management station IP addresses to access the agent |
The following are the SNMP agent limitations:
Version supported: 2c
Community Names: One community name allowed
Community name character limitation: 1–33 alphanumeric characters (including underscore: "_")
Destination NMS IP addresses: One NMS IP address allowed per community name
System location and System contact: 0–254 characters (ASCII 32–126, excluding "&")
In addition to the standard SNMP traps, Threat Mitigator defines the following additional traps and queries:

Description |
coldStart |
.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 |
Signifies that the SNMP entity, supporting a notification originator application, is reinitializing itself and that its configuration may have been altered |
Shutdown |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Signifies that Threat Mitigator was shut down |
ProductVersion |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Returns the Threat Mitigator version |
RequiringPost |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Returns the number of endpoints requiring post-assessment cleanup, as indicated on the Threat Management screen |
RequiringCustomSolution |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Returns the number of endpoints requiring custom cleanup, as indicated on the Threat Management screen |
OnDemandScan |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |

bootFactory |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Threat Mitigator booted to the default factory partition. |
bootPrevious |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Threat Mitigator booted to the previous partition. |
databaseMaintenance |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
The database shrink process was carried out to reduce the size of the database. |
logPurge |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Database logs were purged. This object references "logPurgeType" to check whether purging was done manually or automatically. |
connectTMSPFail |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Threat Mitigator was unable to connect to TMSP. Threat Mitigator establishes connections at 10-minute intervals. This object references "serverLocation" to determine the IP address or host name of TMSP. |
NTPFail |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Threat Mitigator was unable to synchronize its system time with the NTP server. |
customSolution |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
A pattern required for custom cleanup is ready for deployment to affected endpoints. This object references the following objects:
|
connectAUFail |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
An attempt to connect to the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server was unsuccessful. |
component |
.1.3.6.1.4.1. |
Connection with the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate was established but the update session was unsuccessful. Each session updates one or several components. The component names are listed, but version numbers are not. |
