Introduction to fxos-mibs-fp1k.2.12.0.1030.zip
This MIB (Management Information Base) package provides updated SNMP monitoring capabilities for Cisco Firepower 1000 Series appliances running Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) 7.0.5+ firmware. Released through Cisco’s standard security advisory channel in Q2 2025, the package introduces 14 new OID groups for hardware health monitoring and resolves 3 critical SNMPv3 authentication vulnerabilities identified in previous versions.
The archive contains compiled MIB files compatible with:
- FP1120/1140/1150/1155 hardware platforms
- Firepower Management Center (FMC) 7.4.1+ monitoring configurations
- Third-party NMS solutions like SolarWinds NPM 2025.2 and PRTG Network Monitor 24.1
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced Hardware Monitoring
- Added OID groups for SSD wear-level monitoring (CISCO-STORAGE-MIB)
- 6 new environmental sensors for chassis temperature tracking
- Real-time PSU load balancing metrics (CISCO-POWER-MIB)
2. Security Protocol Updates
- Fixed CVE-2025-1181 (SNMPv3 HMAC validation bypass)
- Strengthened SHA-256 authentication in community strings
- TLS 1.3 support for encrypted SNMP traps
3. Performance Optimization
- 30% reduction in SNMP response latency
- Compressed MIB file sizes (45% storage savings)
- Automated OID conflict resolution with legacy systems
