4: Advanced Operations
SNMP The SLP family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). This allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to
retrieve information and control power for the individual outlets.
The SNMP implementation includes an SNMP v1 agent supporting standard MIB I
and MIB II objects. A private enterprise MIB extension is also supported to provide
remote power control.
Note: For security, SNMP support is disabled by default.
