SNMP Sets and Thresholds
Some objects can be configured from the SNMP manager using SNMP
set commands. Objects that can be configured have a MAX-ACCESS
level of "read-write" in the MIB.
These objects include threshold objects, causing Dominion PX to
generate a warning and send an SNMP trap when certain parameters are
exceeded. See Setting Power Thresholds (on page 98) for a description
of how thresh
olds
work.
Note: When configuring the thresholds via SNMP set commands, ensure
the value of upper critical threshold is higher than that of upper warning
threshold.
A Note about Enabling Thresholds
When enabling previously disabled thresholds via SNMP, make sure to
set a correct value for all thresholds that are supposed to be enabled prior
to actually enabling them. Otherwise, you may get an error message.
