SNMP Gets and Sets
In addition to sending traps, Dominion PX is able to receive SNMP get and
set requests from third-party SNMP managers.
 Get requests are used to retrieve information about Dominion PX,
such as the system location, and the current on a specific outlet.
 Set requests are used to configure a subset of the information, such
as the SNMP system name.
Note: The SNMP system name is the Dominion PX device name.
When you change the SNMP system name, the device name shown
in the web interface is also changed.
Valid objects for these requests are limited to those found in the SNMP
MIB-II System Group and the custom Dominion PX MIB.
The Dominion PX MIB
The SNMP MIB file is required for using your Dominion PX device with an
SNMP manager. An SNMP MIB file describes the SNMP functions.
