Managed Appliance SNMP Settings
The SNMP protocol is used to communicate management information between network
management applications and Rack Power Manager software managed appliances using TCP/IP
and IPX protocols. Other external SNMP managers (such as Tivoli
®
and HP OpenView) may
communicate with your managed appliances by accessing MIB-II (Management Information
Base) and the public portion of the enterprise MIB. MIB-II is a standard MIB that many SNMP
target devices support. The managed appliances will send their traps directly to the external
SNMP manager in addition to sending it to the server.
The following settings appear under SNMP in the side navigation bar:
• System - Enables/disables SNMP. When you enable SNMP, the managed appliance will
log SNMP received messages over UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port 161. UDP port 162
is used to listen for incoming traps.
• Managers - Stations that can manage the managed appliance.
• Community - Communities to which the traps belong.
• Destinations - Stations that can receive SNMP traps.
• Traps - Available traps and enabled/disabled traps.
