RAPTOR-SNMPv2-MIB

Description: Provides SNMPv2 management objects for Axent/Symantec Raptor firewall status and event reporting.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

RAPTOR-SNMPv2-MIB is a vendor-specific module for the Raptor Firewall product, originally from Axent Technologies and later Symantec, providing SNMPv2-style management objects for firewall status and event reporting. It exposes a notification message object, along with organizational branches for systems, modules, and general objects, structured to support alerting on firewall-level events. Its monitoring emphasis is on software/operational status and fault reporting rather than granular performance counters: raptorNotifyMessage and the raptorTraps branch are used to surface security and operational events (such as policy violations, service restarts, or system faults) as they occur, functioning as the firewall's primary SNMP fault-reporting channel. It depends on SNMPv2 notification conventions (SNMPv2-SMI/SNMPv2-TC) for its trap definitions. It is typically deployed on legacy Raptor Firewall appliances at network perimeters where SNMP traps feed a centralized security event monitoring system. Engineers can download the RAPTOR-SNMPv2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would subscribe to raptorTraps and inspect the accompanying raptorNotifyMessage text whenever a trap fires, using it to identify firewall events such as a blocked connection surge or a service failure without needing to poll counters directly. Because the MIB is structured around raptorObjects and raptorModules as organizational containers rather than a rich set of enumerated runtime counters in the given excerpt, the primary monitoring workflow here is trap-driven fault detection rather than periodic polling.
