SNMP
The AmpMeter PDU family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This
allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to retrieve information and control power for the
individual outlets.
The AmpMeter PDU includes an SNMP v1 agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects.
NOTE: For security, SNMP support is disabled by default.
