Use of SNMPv2c is supported by the SNMPv1 options.
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.
To use SNMPv3, you must have a MIB program that supports SNMPv3.
The Network Management Card supports SHA or MD5 authentication
and AES or DES encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage the
Network Management Card on the public network of an StruxureWare system, you
must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit interface. Read access allows StruxureWare
Data Center Expert to receive traps from the Network Management Card. Write
access is required while you set StruxureWare Data Center Expert as a trap receiver.
To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator. Use the NMC 2
Web interface or Command Line interface to set it up.
FTP and SCP
You can use FTP (enabled by default) or SCP to transfer downloaded firmware to
the Network Management Card, or to access a copy of the Network Management
Card’s event or data logs.
To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage the UPS, you must have the
FTP Server option enabled in the Network Management Card interface.
To enable or disable FTP server access, you must be an Administrator. Use the
NMC 2 Web interface or Command Line interface to set it up.
To transfer firmware, see the User Guide.
The SCP interface is enabled when SSH is enabled, as they are part of
the same protocol suite. See the User Guide for more information on
configuring and using SSH.
To retrieve a copy of the event or data log, see the User Guide.
Manage the security of your system
