American Power Conversion AP9210 Chapter 7: Using SNMP

MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide

Chapter 7:UsingSNMP

This chapter briefly describes the APC MasterSwitch-MIB (provided on the diskette that came with the

MasterSwitch as PDU.MIB) and how to use that MIB to configure and control output power from the

MasterSwitch, as a unit, or from each outlet, individually. This chapter also briefly describes the MasterSwitch-

MIB and MIB-II traps the MasterSwitch can send.

Note: This chapter assumes you are familiar with how to load and compile a MIB at the

NMS you will be using for SNMP control, and are proficient at using its SNMP

browser. See your NMS documentation for more information on loading, compiling

and using a MIB. For more information on the MasterSwitch-MIB, see the

descriptions provided in the SNMP browser for each OID, or use a text editor to

read a copy of the PDU.MIB.

You can use SNMP to:

nDefine NMSs that can receive SNMP traps (using apcmgmt OIDs).

nRestart the MasterSwitch SNMP agent (using apcmgmt OIDs).

nControl master power by turning on, turning off or rebooting all MasterSwitch outlets (using

sPDUMasterControl OIDs).

nDefine a master power on delay time value for providing master power to the outlets (using an

sPDUMasterConfig OID).

nDefine a power on value for each outlet so that you can sequence the power output from the

MasterSwitch outlets (using sPDUOutletConfig OIDs).

nTurn off, on or reboot any outlet, individually (using sPDUOutletControl OIDs).

nDefine a name for the MasterSwitch (using an sPDUMasterConfig OID).

nDefine a device name for each outlet (using sPDUOutletControl OIDs).

nDefine how long power remains off during reboot cycles (using an sPDUMasterConfig OID).

nAccess information about factory preset values (using sPDUIdent OIDs).

You cannot use SNMP to:

nDefine the network configuration values needed by the MasterSwitch.

Note: When a BOOTP server (Chapter 2) is not being used, the console program must be

used to initially define these values. Once these values are defined, and BOOTP is

disabled, you can use the console program or the embedded Web control to modify

the values.
