33InRow RC Operation and Maintenance
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMPv1 only. After you add the PowerNet® MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that
browser to access the InRow RC. All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are
transferred over the network as plain text. The default read community name is public; the default read/
write community name is private.
SNMPv3 only. For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to
identify users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to
perform GETs and SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps. The default settings are no authentication
and no privacy.
Note: To use SNMPv3, you must have a MIB program that supports SNMPv3.
The InRow RC supports only MD5 authentication and DES encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. To use InfraStruXure Central or InfraStruXure Manager to manage the InRow
RC on the public network of an InfraStruXure system, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit
interface. Read access allows InfraStruXure devices to receive traps from the InRow RC. Write access is
required while you set the InfraStruXure device as a trap receiver.
To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator. Select the Administration tab, select
the Network menu on the top menu bar, and use the access option under SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 on the
left navigation menu.
FTP/SCP
You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer downloaded firmware to the
Network Management Card or to access a copy of the InRow RC event or data logs. SCP provides the
higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH.
To access the Network Management Card through FTP or SCP, the default user name and password are
apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User. In the command line, use the IP
address of the unit.
Note: If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption,
disable FTP. To disable FTP, you must be an Administrator; on the Administration tab, select
Network on the top menu bar and the FTP Server option on the left navigation menu.
In the InRow RC User's Guide, see the following sections:
-To transfer firmware, see “File Transfers.”
-To retrieve a copy of the event or data log, see “Use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files.”
