the Zen of Communication.

I’ve spent an awful lot of hours trying to track down the SNMP MIBs for a Barracuda spam firewall. Searches on the Barracuda website for “MIB” and “SNMP” returned very few results – but I was looking for the MIB files themselves.

It turns out Barracuda has cunningly hidden the MIBs within their devices. Read http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/downloads/Other/OTHER_Barracuda_Spam_&_Virus_Firewall_SNMP.4.pdf

Specifically, under page bloody one:

MIBs
You will need to obtain and import two MIB files to your SNMP monitor:
1. The Barracuda Reference MIB (standard across all Barracuda Networks products)
2. The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall MIB
You can use reference objects included in these MIBs for monitoring either from custom scripts or from
your SNMP monitor. The MIB files are located on the appliance and can be obtained by replacing
YOURBARRACUDA in the following links with the IP address of your Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall:

http://YOURBARRACUDA:8000/Barracuda-SPAM-MIB.txt

http://YOURBARRACUDA:8000/Barracuda-REF-MIB.txt

Isn’t that great? I thought that was great.

Anyway. There it bleedin is.
