Rack ATS AP44xx Installation and Quick Start16

SNMPv1 and SNMPv3

To use StruxureWare to manage the Rack ATS on the public network of a StruxureWare system, you

must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit interface. Read access allows StruxureWare devices to receive

traps from the Rack ATS. Write access is required while you set the StruxureWare device as a trap

receiver.

To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator or Super User. In the web interface,

click Configuration, click Network, click either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3, and then click Access.

All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMPv1 are transferred over the network as

plain text. If your network requires the high security of encryption, disable SNMPv1 access and use

SNMPv3 instead.

FTP and SCP

You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer downloaded firmware to the

ATS, or to access a copy of the event or data logs of the ATS. See the User Manual on www.apc.com

for details.

To enable or disable FTP Server access, you must be an Administrator. In the web interface, click

Configuration, click Network, and then click FTP server.

NOTE: FTP transfers files without encryption. For higher security, disable the FTP server, and transfer

files with SCP. Selecting and configuring Secure SHell (SSH) enables SCP automatically.

NOTE: You can use FTP or SCP to configure and update the ATS with StruxureWare Data Center

Expert as long as the same protocol is enabled on both the ATS and StruxureWare. See your

StruxureWare Data Center Expert documentation for details.
