SNMP on ASA and VPN3000 Series

I have a custon SNMP implementation which does some good stuff for our VPN 3000 Concentrators.



It uses ALTIGA-SESSION-STATS-MIB which is referenced here,

basicaly it pulls info such as who's logged in, how many people are on specific concentrators etc.



Now we're in the process of migrating away from the 3000s to newer ASA boxes, although they don't seem to support this MIB.



I can connect to them using SNMP, but they dont respond to the OIDs etc in that mib.



We also have some monitoring software called Intermapper, for which we have a probe written for the 3000s which used the same mib. Thats not working against the ASAs either.



How do I get user connectivity info/stats out of one of the ASA box using SNMP? Is it a question of enabling it on the ASA box or do I have to use a different mib and re-develop the code from scratch?



Any help appreciated



Thanks

The VPN 3000's wern't originally a Cisco product - Cisco aquired a company called Altiga.

As the ASA is based on the PIX platform you will have to take a look through the relevant MIBS here:-
