To configure SNMP settings, from Fireware Web UI: If you have many interfaces, use the Interface Name search box or select an option from the Type or Zone drop-down lists to find an interface quickly. To enable NetFlow for an interface, next to the interface name, select Ingress, Egress, or both.(Optional) To monitor Firebox traffic, select Monitor Traffic generated by the Firebox or Monitor traffic destined for the Firebox.

If the Active Flow Timeout value is lower on the collector, the collector might stop listening while the Firebox is sending data. We recommend that you specify an Active Flow Timeout value that is lower than the Active Flow Timeout value on the collector. The Active Flow Timeout setting segments your flow into small flows based on the value you specify. In the Active Flow Timeout text box, type 20.

In the Collector Address text box, type the IP address of the NetFlow collector.

To configure your Firebox as a NetFlow exporter, from Fireware Web UI: SolarWinds NTA uses the SNMP protocol to discover devices. To configure your Firebox to integrate with SolarWindows NTA, you must enable the Firebox as a NetFlow exporter, configure SNMP settings, and add a policy to allow SNMP traffic. Configure Your Firebox for SolarWinds NTA Make sure all your SolarWinds NTA services are running and your Firebox has Fireware v12.7 or higher. This diagram shows a typical NetFlow topology.
