No SNMP response from the Fortigate whatsoever.<br>However, I do not get this issue on a Fortiwifi 60B, which is a smaller Fortigate unit.<br><br>It took me a while to figure it out but here is the trick. You have to configure the management interface and query that interface if you want to get SNMP information for all other interfaces. Management is a dedicated interface with a physical port just below the DMZ port.
