Viewing the FCB Firmware Version Information

NOTE: The following procedure uses NET-SNMP, a free SNMP tool for Linux systems, available at www.net-snmp.org, as an example.

1Launch the NET-SNMP utility.

2Use the snmpset command to view firmware version information. snmpget -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67 .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.2.0 Sample output:

[root@localhost ~]# snmpget -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.2.0 <- Get firmware Version to confirm.

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.20.50.2.0 = STRING: "V01.A.045.01.01.0001"

Monitoring the External PDU Power Status and Updating the PDU PMC Firmware

The PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure is primarily connected to an external PDU. The external PDU includes a power management controller (PMC) board that is integrated with an Ethernet connector and supports SNMP v2c that allows you to monitor the PDU power supply modules over the network and send traps or notifications when critical situations occur.

Before You Begin

1Install a SNMP utility on your computer. You can install a commercial or a free SNMP utility.

2Install a TFTP server software on your computer.

TFTP is used with the SNMP v2c command line interfaces to transfer files to and from the PDU PMC, update the PMC firmware and modify the PMC configuration information.

If you are using Linux, install a TFTP server from your distribution. If you are using Windows, install a commercial or free TFTP server.
