About This Guide Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE Purpose of the Guide Use this guide to assist you in managing APC® products that can be monitored and configured with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Related Documents and Files This guide describes how to use the PowerNet® MIB only. • See the User’s Guide and any other documentation shipped with your APC product for information about other interfaces you can use to manage that product.
PowerNet MIB Structure Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE Traps Management Cards, APC devices, and APC agents can send traps to a Network Management System (NMS) when specific events occur. The trap receiver definitions that a particular Management Card, device, or agent uses determine which NMSs can receive traps. The MIB provides the meaning of each trap. See PowerNet MIB Traps.
• Configure the access for an NMS to an SNMP community as write access, read access, or no access (SNMPv1). Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE For more information on SNMP access controls, see the User’s Guide for your Management Card or network-enabled device. Structure of the OID hierarchy in the SNMP browser The PowerNet MIB fits into a hierarchical structure within your SNMP browser’s categories.
There are three categories under [products]: • [software] contains one sub-category, [powerNetSubAgent], of read-only OIDs to monitor a software PowerNet agent only. Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE • [hardware] contains sub-categories for each type of hardware product that you can manage using PowerNet MIB OIDs. See Manage Agents and Management Cards. • [system] contains read-only OIDs that identify models of APC UPSs and other APC devices by unique numbers that other OIDs can reference.
Manage Agents and Management Cards Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE Locate the OIDs To find the OIDs to perform the tasks described in Monitor a PowerNet Agent, use your MIB browser to select, in order, the following OID categories: • • • • • [apc] [products] [software] [powerNetSubAgent] [powerNetSoftwareSystem] or [powerNetSoftwareConfig] To find the OIDs to perform the tasks described in Manage an SNMP Agent of a Hardware Device, use your MIB browser to select, in order, the following OID
View information about an agent Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE Use the [powerNetSoftwareSystem] OIDs to view information about the agent, including its version number, the technology that it uses to implement the PowerNet MIB, and the length of time it has been running continuously on the network.
Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE • Configure the date and time on a Management Card or other device.
Enable APC traps to use a specific argument type Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE Use the [mtrapargs] OIDs to enable APC traps to use an argument of a specific type (integer, IP address, octet string, Gauge, or TimeTicks), which may not be defined as part of the APC MIB.
The [mfiletransferConfigFTP] subcategory has these OIDs: Perform the file transfer. Use the OID in the [mfiletransferControl] category to download the file from the TFTP server or from the FTP server.
PowerNet MIB Traps This section describes how to define which NMSs can receive PowerNet MIB traps. Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE Overview See How To Define Trap Receivers. No device can generate all traps, and no NMS can receive a trap until at least one of the four trap receiver definitions exists for the device. By default, all APC devices, Management Cards, and agents have no trap receivers defined.
How To Define Trap Receivers • Each Management Card or other APC hardware device can send traps to up to six trap receivers, but you can define only four through the APC PowerNet MIB. You can define the other two through the user interface of the Management Card or device. Management Information Base REFERENCE GUIDE You can define trap receivers as follows: • Each PowerNet agent can send traps to up to four trap receivers. • You can define only SNMPv1 trap receivers through the APC PowerNet MIB.
