Overview
Exinda SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) alerts are sent from the management interface/IP of the Exinda.
-
If an admin wants to restrict only certain hosts to be able to access the SNMP warnings/alerts from the Exinda then they can do so on the Exinda if the management IP traffic passes through the bridges on the unit.
-
Users can create a network object for the Exinda's IP and another object for the hosts they want to allow SNMP to the Exinda.
-
Create a policy with source and destination as the objects above and application SNMP.
-
Create another policy under it with just the Exinda's IP in the host list and application SNMP and discard that traffic.
-
-
If the management traffic does not pass through the Exinda, then whichever device (firewall, router etc) is responsible for controlling the management traffic, there needs to be a rule there to allow or disallow SNMP access to the Exinda.
