59UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
When using InfraStruxure Central to manage a UPS on the public network of an InfraStruxure system, you
must have SNMP enabled in the NMC interface. Read access will allow the InfraStruxure device to receive
traps from the NMC, but Write access is required while you use the interface of the NMC to set the
InfraStruxure device as a trap receiver.
For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your system, see the Security
Handbook, available on the Network Management Card Utility CD or from the website,

SNMPv1

Enable SNMPv1 access under access enables SNMP version 1 as a method of communication with this device.
access control. You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which Network Management
Systems (NMSs) have access to this device. The opening page for acces s c ont rol, by default, assigns one entry
to each of the four available SNMPv1 communities, but you can edit these settings to apply more than one
entry to any community to grant access by several specific IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, hos t n ames, or IP address
masks. To edit the access control settings for a community, click its community name.
• If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a community, that community has access to
this device from any location on the network.
• If you configure multiple access control entries for one community name, the limit of four entries
requires that one or more of the other communities must have no access control entry. If no access
control entry is listed for a community, that community has no access to this device.
Community Name: The name that an NMS must use to access the community. The maximum length is 15
ASCII characters, and the default community names for the four communities are public, private,
public2, and private2.
NMS IP/Host Name: The IPv4 or IPv6 address, IP address mask, or host name that co ntr ol s a cce ss by NMSs.
A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) all ows ac cess only by the NMS at that location. IP
addresses that contain 255 restrict acce s s as follows:
• 149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12 segment.
• 149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.
• 149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.
• 0.0.0.0 (the default setting) which can also be expressed as 255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on
any segment.
Access Type: The actions an NMS can perform through the community.
• Read: GETS only, at any time
• Write: GETS at any time, and SETS when no user is logged onto the user interface or command line
interface.
• Write+: GETS and SETS at any time.
• Disable: No GETS or SETS at any time.
SNMPv3
Path: Path: Administration > Network > SNMPv3 > options
For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to identify users. An
SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and SETs,
