SNMPv3 only. For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to identify users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps. The default settings are no authentication and no privacy.
Note: To use SNMPv3, you must have a MIB program that supports SNMPv3.
The Network Management Card supports SHA or MD5 authentication and AES or DES encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. To use InfraStruXure Central to manage the Network Management Card on the public network of an InfraStruXure system, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit interface. Read access allows InfraStruXure Central to receive traps from the Network Management Card. Write access is required while you set InfraStruXure Central as a trap receiver.
To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator. Select the Administration tab, select the Network menu on the top menu bar, and use the access option under SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 on the left navigation menu.
FTP and SCP
You can use FTP (enabled by default) or SCP to transfer downloaded firmware to the Network Management Card, or to access a copy of the Network Management Card’s event or data logs.
To use InfraStruXure Central to manage the UPS, you must have the FTP Server option enabled in the Network Management Card interface.
