Manage an SNMP Agent of a Hardware Device

Use the [apcmgmt] OIDs to manage the SNMP agent of an APC hardware device, such as the Network Management Card (installed, pre-installed, or embedded) of a UPS or other APC device. The [apcmgmt] OIDs are in four subcategories: [mconfig], [mcontrol], [mtrapargs], and [mfiletransfer].

View BOOTP value; set trap receivers, date, and time

Use the [mconfig] OIDs to perform the following tasks:

Identify whether BOOTP is enabled (so that BOOTP provides the device’s IP configuration) or disabled (so that the device uses its stored IP configuration).

Configure up to four NMSs as trap receivers as described in How To Define Trap Receivers.
