    Enable SNMP Services for Firewall-Secured Network Elements

    If you will use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor or manage network elements (for example, switches and routers) that are within the security zones of Palo Alto Networks firewalls, you must create a security rule that allows SNMP services for those elements.
    You don’t need a security rule to enable SNMP monitoring of Palo Alto Networks firewalls, Panorama, or WF-500 appliances. For details, see Monitor Statistics Using SNMP.
