SNMP
After you add the PowerNet
®
MIB to a standard
SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser for
SNMP access to the Rack PDU.
For SNMPv1, the default read community name is
public; the default read/write community name is
private.
For SNMPv3, the default settings for the user
profiles are no authentication and no privacy.
When using InfraStruXure Manager to manage a
PDU on the public network of an InfraStruXure
system, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the
PDU interface. Read access will allow
InfraStruXure Manager to receive traps from a
PDU, but Write access is required while you use
the interface of the PDU to set InfraStruXure
Manager as a trap receiver.
All user names, passwords, and community names
for SNMPv1 are transferred over the network as
plain text. If your network requires the high
security of encryption, disable SNMPv1 access
and use SNMPv3 instead.
To enable or disable SNMP access (for either
version), 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.
