SNMP trap notifications are especially useful for monitoring the state of the IWSVA
services—IWSVA issues a trap notifying you if a service stops unexpectedly. IWSVA
supports Trap Destination network management systems using either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
IWSVA supports SNMP agent notifications for the following events:
-
HTTP, FTP, and ICAP service interruptions
-
Virus pattern file, Spyware pattern file, Bot pattern file, IntelliTrap pattern file,
IntelliTrap exception pattern file, Smart Scan Agent file, Script Analyzer Pattern,
Protocol Information Extraction Pattern, scan engine, and URL Filtering engine updates
-
Security events
-
Hardware monitoring events

Note
If IWSVA detects that the HTTP or FTP scanning service is down, it will try twice
to restart it. If the service cannot be restarted, SNMP traps will be issued to the
specified destination every 30 minutes until the service restarts.
IWSVA supports SNMP version 1, version 2c, and version 3 for trap notifications.

System Information Setup
Specify all the necessary system information here.
The community that you specify in the Community Name and Default Community fields identifies the community in which the SNMP object belongs. In SNMP, every
managed object belongs to a community. This provides a minimal amount of security,
since designating communities can define which SNMP agents can communicate.
Access Control Setup
Specify all the necessary access control information here.
The fields in this section are read-only since IWSVA will be sending simple status
and alert messages. For the Read-Only Object Identifier (OID) field, the object ID (OID) is the code for a particular message, alert, or alarm.
The "object" is the actual message, alert, or alarm.
SNMP Queries and Traps
Administrators can poll the hardware status using SNMP queries and receive alerts
through SNMP traps. To do this, administrators need import the hardware-monitoring
MIB file into an SNMP tool like the iReasoning MIB Browser.
IWSVA also supports two standard MIB files for network interface card statistics:
-
RFC1213-MIB
-
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
These are available from:
To receive traps from IWSVA, administrators need configure the SNMP trap destinations.
