Note: To use SNMPv3, you must have a
MIB program that supports SNMPv3.
The Rack PDU supports only MD5 authentication
and DES encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. To use InfraStruXure
Central or Manager to manage the Rack PDU on the
public network of an InfraStruXure system, you must
have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit interface. Read
access allows InfraStuXure devices to receive traps
from the Rack PDU. 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 Administrator 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 and SCP
You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure
CoPy (SCP) to transfer downloaded firmware to the
Rack PDU, or to access a copy of the Rack PDUs
event or data logs. SCP provides the higher security
of encrypted data transmission and is enabled
automatically when you enable SSH.
To use InfraStruXure Manager to manage a Rack
PDU, you must have FTP Server enabled in the
Rack PDU interface.
To enable or disable FTP Server access, you must be
an Administrator. Select the Administration tab,
select the Network menu on the top menu bar, and
use the FTP Server option on the left navigation
menu.
In the Metered Rack PDU User’s Guide,
see the following sections:
•To transfer firmware, see “File Transfers.”
To retrieve a copy of the event or data log,
see “How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log
files.”
