SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the monitoring and management of server enclosure and the PDU device.
About MIB and Traps
A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed information that is organized hierarchically. Managed entities are called managed objects and are identified by object identifiers. Network management protocols such as SNMP use MIBs to retrieve managed information about managed nodes or devices. The managed information is then transmitted to management applications through SNMP.
SNMP traps are used by managed nodes or devices to asynchronously report events to the management software. When certain types of events occur, the managed device sends a trap to the management software.
SNMP Support for the Server Enclosure Fan Controller Board
When an error occurs in the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure that is populated with compute sleds, the fan controller board (FCB) provides a status update to the compute sled's BMC, and BMC send traps to the remote client.
When an error occurs in the server enclosure that is fully populated with 5 storage sleds, SNMP sends a trap message to the remote client.
There is a common OID (object identifiers) defined in the MIB (Management Information Base) file. Use the SNMP utility to get the

By default, the FCB is configured to automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP server. A special
