Introduction to “fxos-mibs-fp9k-fp4k.2.6.1.174.zip”
This MIB package provides SNMP monitoring definitions for Cisco Firepower 9000/4100 series appliances running FXOS 2.6.1 firmware. Designed for infrastructure monitoring integration with SolarWinds, Nagios, and Zabbix platforms, it enables granular visibility into chassis health metrics including power supply status, fabric module performance, and environmental sensors.
The 2.6.1.174 version specifically aligns with Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) 6.7.0+ deployments, offering enhanced compatibility for hybrid environments managing both ASA and FTD instances. Cisco officially released this MIB collection on Q3 2024 to address monitoring gaps in multi-instance firewall configurations.
