Appendix A: Accessing a PMPDU via SNMP

Using a machine with an SNMP-client application, an administrator can configure PDU power

parameters using snmpset and snmpget commands. An administrator can, for example, change

the PDU's name, change an outlet's name or change the current thresholds of an outlet. A

complete list of configurable parameters can be found in the PDU's MIB file.

Configuration via SNMP will take effect upon completion of the command. To save the

configuration across reboots, you must issue the save command.

To use SNMP, you must enable it and configure it on the PDU. To enable and configure SNMP

with the web manager, see Security on page 25 and SNMP configuration on page 34. To

enable and configure SNMP with the CLI, see System/Security on page 58 and Network/SNMP

on page 67.

NOTE: When using snmpset commands, especially in a daisy-chained configuration, it is recommended you extend

the time-out with no retries. The time-out should depend on the command and the length of the chain. For example,

issuing a save command or power cycling outlets will need a longer time-out.

Example of an SNMP command to rename the PDU:

#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IPaddress>

pmPowerMgmtPDUTablePDUTablePduId.1.1 s NewPDUname

Example of an SNMP command to rename an outlet:

#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IPaddress>

pmPowerMgmtOutletsTableName.1.1.1 s NewOut1

Example of an SNMP command to change the high critical threshold on an outlet:

#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IPaddress>

pmPowerMgmtOutletsTableCurrentHighCritical.1.1.1 i 100

Example of an SNMP command to save:

#snmpset -t 60 -r 0 -v 2c -c <community> <IP address>

pmPowerMgmtSerialTableSave.1 i 2

NOTE: Some PDU models don't support the entire set of configurable parameters. In this instance, the snmpset

command will fail and the snmpget command will return 0 for integer OIDs and N/A for strings.
