SNMP

The Sentry 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 Sentry includes an SNMP v2c agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects. A private enterprise MIB extension (Sentry3 MIB) is also supported to provide remote power control.

See SNMP on page 18, for information on enabling and configuring SNMP.

NOTE: For security, SNMP support is disabled by default.

Enabling and Setting up SNMP Support

The Sentry SNMP command is used to enable or disable SNMP support.

To enable SNMP support:

NOTE: A restart of the Sentry is required after enabling or disabling SNMP support. See Performing a warm boot on page 38 for more information.

To set the trap destination:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set snmp, trapdest1 or trapdest2, the Ipaddress and press Enter.

Example

The following sets the trap destination 1 to 64.42.31.208:
