Chapter 6: How to Manage a
MasterSwitch VM Unit
This chapter describes how to use PowerNet MIB OIDs to manage (monitor, configure, control and test) a MasterSwitch
VM unit.
The MasterSwitch VM unit has its own SNMP agent that allows you to use SNMP to manage the MasterSwitch VM unit
or any of its eight relay-controlled outlets. A maximum of four MasterSwitch VM units can be connected in a daisy chain
and managed via SNMP. For more information on how to manage the SNMP agent, see How to Manage the SNMP
Agent at a Hardware Device in Chapter 2.
To list the seven categories of PowerNet MIB OIDs that you use to manage a MasterSwitch VM unit, perform the
following steps:
1. Select [products] under [apc].
2. Select [hardware].
3. Select [masterSwitchVM].
