Firmware/Software Version: SonicOS (5.9 & above) and SonicOS (6.1 & above)
Services: SNMP Traffic
Feature/Application:

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a network protocol used over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) that allows network administrators to monitor the status of the SonicWALL security appliance and receive notification of critical events as they occur on the network. The SonicWALL security appliance supports SNMP v1/v2c and all relevant Management Information Base II (MIB) groups except egp and at. The SonicWALL security appliance replies to SNMP Get commands for MIBII via any interface and supports a custom SonicWALLMIB for generating trap messages. The custom SonicWALL MIB is available for download from the SonicWALL Web site and can be loaded into third-party SNMP management software such as HP Open view, Tivoli, or SNMPC.

Procedure:

Step 1: Configure SNMP in SonicWALL device
Step 2: Configuring SNMP & adding SonicWALL unit in PRTG Monitoring software 
 

Step 1: Configure SNMP in SonicWALL device

1) Enable SNMP and configure SNMP parameters
Please login to the SonicWALL Management GUI as admin.
  • Navigate to System -> SNMP
  • Check the box 'Enable SNMP'.
  • Click on the 'Configure' button and supply the parameters for SNMP or keep the defaults for general configuration.
  • Click the 'OK' button.
  • Click the Apply button on the top of the page.
​For the SNMP functionality, the "Community name"  should be the same in the SonicWALL and the SNMP monitoring software.


2) Enable SNMP on the SonicWALL interface

Please login to the SonicWALL Management GUI as admin.
Navigate to Network > Interfaces and click on the configure button in front of the LAN & WAN interface.

>> LAN Interface (X0): 
  • In the 'Management' section of Edit X0 interface window, check the 'SNMP' box.
  • Click the 'OK' button.



>> WAN Interface (X1): 
  • In the 'Management' section of Edit X1 interface window, check the 'SNMP' box.
  • Click the 'OK' button.


Step 2: Configuring SNMP & adding SonicWALL unit in PRTG Monitoring software 
  Open the SNMP software and register the SonicWALL. (You can download and install a free edition of PRTG from http://www.paessler.com/prtg/download)

Screen shots for PRTG (V14.2.9.1689) are attached below, just enter the SonicWALL appliance's LAN IP address, along with the community string and it will start gathering data from the SonicWALL

Select Device tab in the PRTG software. Under Overview Click Add Device button to add your sonicwall device.

  • In the device name enter SonicWALL TZ 200 (You should use the same name which you used in SNMP configuration of SonicWALL
  • In IPV4- Address/DNS Name 192.168.168.168 (IP address of the SonicWALL interface to which server is connected)
  • Device Icon: Select Dell Icon
Click Continue for next step



You will find the new device which we added. Click Add Sensor button to select the sensor type.


  • Select SNMP under Technology Used
  • Select SNMP Traffic under Matching Sensor Type




Select the interface for which you would like to monitor traffic. In this scenario select X0, X1 & W0 interface and click Continue button




Now you can see the sensor information for all the interface with the traffic rate



How to Test

In order to test the SNMP traffic. Select any one interface to see its traffic rate with graph. Click on X0 interface to see the information as below




The Live data can be shown in the graph format as below for the X0 interface

  Get the information about the SSL version using and strength by utilizting the SSL Disagnos SSL Diagnos is used to test SSL strength; Get information about SSL protocols (pct, ssl2, ssl3, tls, dtls) and cipher suites. It can also be used for testing and rating ciphers on SSL clients. It has also specific support for pop3s, sip, smtp and explicit ftps. Tests for heartbleed (including dtls). Furthermore a separate tool, SSLPressure, not using openssl can be used to check the whole spectrum of possible SSL protocols on a server. Can also be used for testing ssl for mssql-servers (was added since nessus did not support this) and contains mitm poc for stripping ssl from mssql-connections. Features SSL scanner including rating of SSL cipher suite strength for server and clients Test SSL strength in for example https, smtp, sip, pop3s, ftps Can be used for OWASP-CM-001 Uses OpenSSL to test ssl2, ssl3, tls, dtls, explicit ftps Tests renegotiation and availability
