SNMP
SNMPv1 (Administration>Network>SNMPv1>options)
All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the
network as plain text. If your network requires the high security of encryption, disable
SNMP access or set the access for each community to Read. (A community with Read
access can receive status information and use SNMP traps.)
When using InfraStruXure Manager to manage a UPS on the public network of an
InfraStruXure system, you must have SNMP enabled in the Network Management Card
interface. Read access will allow InfraStruXure Manager to receive traps from a
Network Management Card, but Write access is required while you use the interface of
the Management Card to set InfraStruXure Manager as a trap receiver.
For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your
system, see the Security Handbook, available on the APC Network
Management Card Utility CD or from the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
