CHAPTER 12: SNMP Traps

12. SNMP Traps

SNMP is an acronym for "Simple Network Management Protocol". The SNMP Trap function allows the Outlet Managed PDU to send Alarm Notification messages to two different SNMP managers, each time one of the Alarms discussed in Section 7 is triggered.

Note:

•The SNMP feature cannot be configured via the SNMP Manager.

•SNMP reading ability is limited to the System Group.

•The SNMP feature includes the ability to be polled by an SNMP Manager.

•Once SNMP Trap Parameters have been defined, SNMP Traps will be sent each time an Alarm is triggered. For more information on Alarm Configuration, please refer to Section 7.

12.1.Configuration:

To configure the SNMP Trap function, proceed as follows:

1.Access command mode using an account that permits Administrator level commands.

2.SNMP Trap Parameters: Access the SNMP Trap Parameters Menu as described in Section 5.9.7. Set the following:

a)SNMP Managers 1 and 2: The address(es) that will receive SNMP Traps that are generated by one of the Alarms discussed in Section 7. Consult your network administrator to determine the IP address(es) for the SNMP Manager(s), then use the Network Parameters menu to set the IP address for each SNMP Manager. Note that it is not necessary to define both SNMP Managers.

Note:

To enable the SNMP Trap feature, you must define at least one SNMP Manager. SNMP Traps are automatically enabled when at least one SNMP Manager has been defined.

b)Trap Community: Consult your network administrator, and then use the Network Parameters menus to set the Trap Community.

Once SNMP Trap Parameters have been defined, the Outlet Managed PDU will send an SNMP Trap each time an alarm is triggered.

The Black Box MPSH Series, specifically the MPSH16-D20-208+V, MPSH8-S20-208+V, MPSH16-D20-120V, and MPSH8-D20-208+V, represents a state-of-the-art solution in the realm of Outlet Managed Power Distribution Units (PDUs). Designed for seamless integration within data centers and server rooms, these PDUs are engineered to support the ever-evolving demands of modern IT infrastructures while ensuring energy efficiency and optimal performance.

One of the hallmark features of the MPSH series is its robust management capabilities. These PDUs allow for individual outlet monitoring and control, enabling IT managers to efficiently manage power consumption across various devices. This granular control helps in identifying underutilized equipment, managing power distribution more effectively, and ultimately lowering operational costs.

In terms of connectivity, the MPSH units are equipped with multiple outlets—providing flexibility to connect numerous devices. The MPSH16-D20-208+V, for instance, features sixteen outlets, while the MPSH8 series boasts eight. This variety allows for customization based on specific needs in different settings, whether it is a small server room or a large data center.

The MPSH PDUs also incorporate advanced technologies to enhance power efficiency and reliability. They are equipped with features such as surge protection, which shields sensitive equipment from voltage spikes, and power factor correction, which optimizes energy usage for improved efficiency. Additionally, remote management capabilities enable IT personnel to access power metrics and control outlet status from any location via a secure web interface, providing enhanced visibility and proactive management of power flows.

Safety and compliance are paramount in the design of the MPSH series. These PDUs adhere to industry standards, ensuring that they meet the necessary regulations for quality and safety, which is critical in preventing downtime and electrical hazards.

Moreover, the installation process for MPSH PDUs is straightforward, facilitating quick deployment within existing infrastructures. Their compact design allows for mounting in various configurations, maximizing space efficiency in crowded server racks.

Overall, the Black Box MPSH16-D20-208+V, MPSH8-S20-208+V, MPSH16-D20-120V, and MPSH8-D20-208+V Outlet Managed PDUs deliver a blend of functionality, efficiency, and safety, making them an indispensable asset for organizations looking to optimize their power management strategies in today’s data-driven environment.
