Introduction to fxos-mibs-fp3k.2.14.1.167.zip Software
This essential Management Information Base (MIB) package provides comprehensive SNMP monitoring capabilities for Cisco Firepower 3000 Series appliances running FXOS 2.14.1+. Released on March 28, 2025 through Cisco’s standard software distribution channels, the update resolves 14 SNMP compatibility issues reported in previous MIB versions while adding support for next-generation hardware sensors.
