SNMP

All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text. If your network requires the high security of encryption, disable SNMP access or set the access for each community to Read. (A community with Read access can receive status information and use SNMP traps.)

When using StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage a Rack PDU on the public network of an StruxureWare Data Center Expert system, you must have SNMP enabled in the Rack PDU interface. Read access will allow the StruxureWare Data Center Expert device to receive traps from the Rack PDU, but Write access is required while you use the interface of the Rack PDU to set the StruxureWare Data Center Expert device as a trap receiver.

For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your system, see the Security Handbook, available at www.apc.com.

Network Port Sharing.

All Rack PDUs in a group can be accessed through the Host Rack PDU via SNMP "rPDU2" OIDs available in our PowerNet-MIB.

The full path to these OIDs is:

iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).apc(318).products(1).hardware(1).rPDU2(26)

Individual Rack PDUs can be identified in the SNMP MIB tables by viewing the corresponding "Module" OIDs in each table. These Module OIDs will return the Display ID of the Rack PDU.

Example Module OIDs: rPDU2IdentModule, rPDU2DeviceConfigModule, rPDU2SensorTempHumidityConfigModule

In order to be backwards compatible with previous versions, the Host Rack PDU will always be the first index in any table that supports multiple Rack PDUs. In addition, after the Rack PDU group is set up, the index order of guest Rack PDUs should not change even if the Display ID is changed or a PDU temporarily loses communication. The index order should only change if you manually remove a Rack PDU from the group.

An MIB table walk should skip the indexes associated with a Rack PDU that has temporarily lost communication.
