Using SNMP
Using SNMP
Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) provides a means for transferring data
between two devices. A Management
Information Base (MIB) and MIB Object
Identifiers (OIDs) are used by the two devices as
the means of communication. The MIBs
supported by the ManageUPSNET are described
in Appendix D: SNMP MIBS and Appendix E:
RFC1213 and Generic Trap Support.
The ManageUPSNET can also send SNMP
messages, called traps, to up to 10 Network
Management Stations (NMS) when various
UPS related events are detected by the
ManageUPSNET.
Access
The ManageUPSNET allows for up to 10 SNMP
communities. By default, the ManageUPSNET
allows any NMS to GET (private community)
and SET (public community) ManageUPSNET
settings. This allows you to use SNMP to
manage the ManageUPSNET immediately,
however, this does not provide any security.
You can use the Console, via serial link or
Telnet, or the web interface to change these
access settings.
Traps
The ManageUPSNET can send UPS alarms or
informational messages (traps) to up to 10
SNMP destinations (usually NMS stations).
Each trap destination must include the
community name and the IP address of the
NMS station that is to receive the trap.
You can use the Console, via serial link or
Telnet, or the web interface to configure trap
destinations.
