Important note about SSL VPN compatibility for 20.0 MR1 with EoL SFOS versions and UTM9 OS. Learn more in the release notes.
hello,
I noticed that when I execute the `snmpwalk` command on the OID `.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18` (ifAlias), the result comes back empty.
When I execute the OID `.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2` (ifDescr), it returns the interface name. For example: eth7.
However, this interface eth7 has been renamed in the GUI to eth7 - LAN.
Is there a way to receive the value eth7 - LAN via SNMP?
Hi Birules ,
Thank you for reaching out to the community, you can reference the following - Net-SNMP Distributed MIBs for the SNMP.
Additionally, you can check - Sophos Firewall: Sophos MIB
Thanks & Regards,

Hello Vivek Jagad,
Thank you for responding and for the documentation.
I will show here in practice what I am trying to do and the results of my tests.
In the documentation www.net-snmp.org/.../ there is a specific OID to show the INTERFACE DESCRIPTION on the Sophos Firewall. I ran it on my firewall and it brought the following result: IF-MIB::ifAlias
If you run the query using ifDescr, it returns the following data: IF-MIB::ifDescr
On the GUI interface, my interfaces are renamed as follows:
Through SNMP collection, I need to retrieve the name of my interface, just as it is on the GUI interface.
However, it seems that when querying the interface description or ifAlias (SNMP), it returns the result that is in CLI mode.

Is it possible, in some way, to change some configuration in Sophos so that it returns the interface names according to my definition?
